Sanader and Finance Minister Ivan Suker today held talks with Jordan and representatives of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union's (HDZ) other coalition partners, who said they would support the 91 billion kuna draft budget.
As for the Zuzul vote, they will be either in favour or abstain.
Jordan said the HSU had not submitted an amendment to the draft budget asking an additional one billion kuna for pensions. He added he wanted additional information as to the index by which about 1.2 billion kuna were allocated for pensions.
Milorad Pupovac of the Independent Serb Democratic Party (SDSS) said he too would hold additional consultations with the prime minister.
Ethnic minority representative Semso Tankovic expects additional consultations as well. He asks for another 480,000 kuna for the Bosniak community.
Ivan Cehok said his Social Liberals (HSLS) would endorse the draft budget, saying "the budget will pass by the art of the possible". He said the HSLS would be against the dismissal of the foreign minister.
Tankovic said he too would support Zuzul because he was a good minister.
