Antunovic's claims that "the people are too smart to re-elect
thieves" and that HDZ president "(Ivo) Sanader would chop heads off
in the state as he has done in the party" are serious imputations
against the HDZ, Kosor told a news conference.
She added, however, "We are not surprised by such rhetoric from the
SDP because we are used to it". Such imputations are coming after
the publication of the results of an International Republican
Institute poll which show the HDZ enjoys the support of 28 percent
of those surveyed, Kosor said.
She added that the HDZ was confident it would win a minimum 35
percent of the vote at next month's parliamentary elections.
