Responding Seks's remarks, Mesic said that Croatia would today be an isolated country of there were not his activities as the head of state.
"Stupidity is a democratic right which the Croatian parliament speaker obviously exercises sufficiently as he has claimed that my work is a blank white paper," Mesic told reporters after he met representatives of the local authorities in Jastrebarsko, 30 kilometres south-west of Zagreb.
"I do not know whether white mice are here at work. However, if there were not my work and if Croatia were oriented towards the work of such persons as the incumbent Sabor Speaker is, Croatia would still be a small, isolated and moody country," Mesic said.
Asked whether the exchange of arguments between him and the ruling HDZ, whose Vice President Jadranka Kosor is Mesic's rival in the presidential polls' run-off next Sunday, was sending an unfavourable message about Croatia to the European Union, Mesic said that this was not about the row between the two political blocs but it was about sending a message to Europe that all were equal before the law, regardless whether they were ministers, directors, party chiefs or citizens.
"An unfavourable message is if nobody is held responsible for bribe and corruption," Mesic said.
During his tour of Jastrebarsko, Mesic also commented on recent frequent SMS messages sent to citizens from an unknown number saying that they should not vote for Mesic because he does not speak any foreign language and he is computer illiterate.
"Those who send such messages cannot have any profit from their knowledge of any foreign language as they speak nonsense in Croatia," Mesic told the gathered citizens.
