Cacic told a news conference on Monday that a programme for construction in the next four years, which was published in the media on Saturday, showed that the government had given up the plan to build the highway to Dubrovnik.
"There are no new highway directions. Sections, for whose construction there are contracts and ensured financial means, are being finished... and the highway towards Dubrovnik will stop at Sestanovac (in the Split hinterland)," Cacic said.
He slammed the Ivo Sanader government for a model by which it calculated the deficit.
Bills for works that have been paid this year are added by the government to costs of last year and to a deficit of the former government, which therefore rose from 4.5 to 6.3 percent, and costs for this year's works are transferred to the next year, and thus the current government decreases its deficit by 0.4 percent, Cacic said.
He accused the government of halting development-oriented programmes, increasing the state debt and lying about the deficit.
HNS President Vesna Pusic condemned a campaign which she described as systematic against the Split-based Mediterranean Institute for Life Reasarch and Professor Miroslav Radman.
It has been allowed that a campaign is being conducted by anonymous letters against Radman and that the attention is averted from the question whether the government would let the institute begin working to the question about Radman's character, Pusic said.
This opposition party also deplored the building of the memorial plaque at Sveti Rok labelling this act as shameful.
"The erection of a monument to an Ustasha minister under the pretext that he was a writer is yet another proof of the ruling party's double standard, which shows that from the state level it (the HDZ) tells Europe one thing which is contrary to what it is doing at the local level,," Cacic said adding that the fact that the HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) expressed outrage at the monument and that the government condemned it "does not change anything essentially".
