Mesic reiterated he stuck by his position that POA chief Josko Podbevsek should be fired, saying that "as far as I'm concerned, Podbevsek has already been fired".
Asked if Sanader mentioned Podbevsek's dismissal, Mesic said the PM would examine the documents they talked about, documents which he added "implicate the agency, the people in the agency and, consequently, Podbevsek".
Mesic said he received data which reinforced his conviction that regulations had been violated at the POA. He added that bylaws were regulations too. "I'm only saying that everyone working contrary to the Constitution, the law and other regulations must bear the consequences."
Mesic voiced confidence that he and the PM would settle the problem soon.
He said they talked about convening a session of the National Security Council, but added there was no need for the session to settle the problem which arose following POA's interrogation of reporter Helena Puljiz.
"That's not a topic for the Council. We are talking about the Council as a general organisation and the functioning of the system, which is why we agreed a month ago to convene the session and I'm for it," said Mesic.
Asked if it was true that he told Sanader he no longer wanted to be tailed or have his telephones tapped, as well as those of his associates, Mesic said, "No, I didn't ask that. I don't even know if they are following me".
He added, however, that people were interrogated about his work and his surroundings, but that he did not know under whose orders. "But we'll settle that."
Mesic said that Podbevsek fired more than 30 people since coming to the helm of the POA, adding that he was against people firing others as they saw fit with every change of government.
Asked if it was true that he reduced his communication by phone in recent months, Mesic answered negatively. "I've learned that the police either guard or follow me. I am now being guarded by some and followed by others."
