"Probably with himself, because he is attacking (documents) he adopted in 2002 (when he was PM)," Sanader told a press conference.
This government is constantly required to fix the mistakes of Racan's government, Sanader said.
Commenting on Racan's statements that Sanader was drowning Croatia, and that he was a liar and a manipulator who made moves that were disastrous for Croatia's national interests in order to save his Government from defeat at elections, Sanader stressed that Racan would be defeated at the next regular parliamentary elections as he was at those in November 2003.
"If I want one thing for myself and for the Croatian Democratic Union, it is that Racan remains at the helm of the SDP," Sanader said.
He added that Racan's government held two rounds of talks with Austria on compensation for property confiscated after WW2 and that the negotiations were wrapped up by the incumbent Government.
At a recent meeting of the Croatian state leadership it was agreed not to change the content of the agreement with Austria, but to adopt amendments to the law on compensation for property confiscated during the Communist regime under which the compensation would not be handled through bilateral agreements, but at a lower legal level, Sanader said. He added that the decision of the Constitutional Court on the equality of Croatian and foreign citizens when it came to compensation for confiscated property would be respected.
In an interview for Slobodna Dalmacija daily of Saturday, the leader of the strongest Opposition party, Racan, said his party would harshly oppose amendments to the said law, adding that this was a worse solution that the one he had proposed. He said this was nothing but an attempt to "save Sanader and his government from a bad agreement with Austria, with Croatia drowning".
Sanader declined to comment on statements of Croatian President Stjepan Mesic who, the reporter said, corrected his standpoints about Croatia's role in the war in Bosnia.
There is no doubt that Croatia was never an aggressor in Bosnia, Sanader said.
