"The HDZ presidency supports the government in its efforts to create, by fighting organised crime, such an environment in Croatia in which no one threatens anyone else, regardless of whether people being threatened are ordinary citizens, journalists, public figures or government officials," HDZ spokesman Ratko Macek told reporters after a meeting of party leaders.
The ruling party also discussed the effects of rising oil prices on the world market and expressed its full support to the government in search of a model of alleviating the consequences of increasing oil prices and protecting the living standards of Croatian citizens, Macek said.
