"Apart from media headlines and reaction, the HSLS has not considered that topic," Cehok told reporters in response to media reports that this junior partner might leave the governing coalition this weekend.
"I am not the party president. We have not discussed that," Cehok said on Wednesday.
Asked whether he had talked about this with HSLS President Darinko Kosor, Cehok answered in the negative.
He went on to say that it was not the party president who would decide on the departure from the ruling coalition and that HSLS bodies should discuss it in a democratic manner.
