Racan said this at the beginning of the 21st session of the Croatian
parliament, commenting on a question by Ljubo Cesic of the Croatian
Democratic Union.
Racan said the construction of the highway would be completed
within the deadline, but he did not refer to other points of Cesic's
question. The HDZ MP reiterated that he had been under the police
pressure for the past two years, which he compared to the work of the
secret police of the former Yugoslavia. Cesic said the pressure was
instigated by President Stipe Mesic, State Prosecutor Radovan
Ortynski and Interior Minister Sime Lucin. Parliament speaker
Zlatko Tomcic warned the HDZ MP, saying it is impermissible to
insult the head of state.
Another HDZ MP Ivic Pasalic asked Foreign Minister Tonino Picula,
whether Croatia was facing new Balkan integration, referring to an
interview given by the Stability Pact Coordinator Erhad Busek to a
foreign newspaper.
Picula dismissed such claims, saying Croatia was not facing such
threats, because Brussels had guaranteed individual approach of
countries to the European Union.
