Sanader underlined that Croatia's full membership of the European Union was not just a project of his government or his party, but a national project that goes beyond party interests, the government's public relations office said in a statement.
The prime minister proposed that representatives of the trade unions and the Employers' Association participate in the work of the National Committee in charge of overseeing membership talks with the EU, and that they nominate experts as members or leaders of negotiating teams.
The representatives of the trade unions and the Employers' Association welcomed the government's proposal and agreed to participate in the work of the National Committee and the negotiating teams, the statement said.
