ZAGREB, Jan 31 (Hina) - Croatian government spokeswoman Aleksandra Kolaric said on Wednesday evening that "it is clear from all previous statements by Prime Minister Ivica Racan, including the latest one, that a coalition between the
Social Democrats (SDP) and the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), as it is today, is impossible." "All other interpretations of the Prime Minister's statement given during a chat on the Online.hr web portal in some media are sensationalism," Kolaric told Hina. Asked by a participant in the chat if a coalition between the SDP and the HDZ was possible on the state level, as they were partners in Daruvar, Racan said: "It is possible, if the HDZ transforms into a democratic party which does not identify itself with the nation and state and adopts a critical attitude towards the negative aspects of their policy while they were in power."
