Pupovac told reporters in the parliament that everybody in the government now felt uncomfortable due to imminent difficult decisions. However, the SDSS will continue supporting the government in strategic national matters, given that the coming months are crucial for the accession negotiations with the European Union and for the consolidation of the budget and the economy, he said.
Radin said that the parliamentary club of representatives of ethnic minorities made no mention of leaving the ruling coalition.
He said that Croatia had never had early elections and if they happened now it would represent Croatia as an unstable country both politically and economically.
Radin added that ethnic minorities' deputies were satisfied with the latest steps forward, such as the re-introduction of bilingual plates along motorways in Istria and amendments to the constitutional law on minorities.
The announcement by Semso Tankovic, the ethnic Bosniak representative, that he might walk out of the governing coalition did not surprise Radin, who recalled that in the parliament Tankovic was not in the caucus of ethnic minorities' representatives but in the caucus with the Social Liberals (HSLS).
