Asked if the government needed a reshuffle, Mesic said the government needed a reshuffle in order to be able to respond to new tasks and ensure economic progress.
Speaking about the Croatian diaspora, he said that its role today was to lobby for Croatia. Promises of financial assistance to Bosnian Croats are no longer enough, what is important is to help revive the economy in the neighbouring country, he said.
Asked whether he counted on the votes of citizens who supported candidate Boris Miksic in the first election round, Mesic said that many of those who voted for Miksic had been drawn by his message that the American dream was possible in Croatia and that he would make it possible for GDP to rise by 20 percent in a short period of time.
"This is too idealistic and impossible to achieve. Those who want Croatia to produce and export will vote for my projects," Mesic said.
Asked how much money he would spend in the second part of the election campaign, Mesic said he would not spend any money because he had made his messages public and would continue communicating with the electorate through the media.
Commenting on claims by Kosor's election team that her campaign was being financed exclusively by the Croatian Democratic Union, Mesic wondered how it was possible that no citizen or legal person wanted to financially assist her campaign.
"So much funds have been spent on her campaign and it is claimed that there is only one donor - the HDZ - which raises doubt about possible money laundering," Mesic said.
