Refuting the accusation that he intentionally kept the report hidden from the public, PM Sanader said he had not seen the report at all, and challenged the HSP parliamentarian to acquaint the government with its contents.
Rozic claimed that the document criticising Croatia for failing to adjust its laws in conformity with the European Social Charter had been delivered to the Sanader cabinet two months ago, and added that it was the government's duty to make the report public.
Sanader countered by asking how the government could have kept the report secret if it had not seen it at all.
He also refuted accusations by another HSP parliamentarian about the government's irresponsible treatment of residents of the town of Sisak (50 kilometres southeast of Zagreb) and its failure to protect them from increasing air pollution.
HSP deputy Pejo Trgovcevic said that delays in the modernisation of the local oil refinery owned by the INA company had harmed the health of the local inhabitants.
He pointed the finger at the government saying that its representatives were sitting on INA's supervisory board and in its assembly.
Sanader said that it was his cabinet that had launched the modernisation of the oil refineries in Sisak and Rijeka, a process which should be completed in the coming years.
The premier reiterated that he could not comment on possible murky dealings in the Brodosplit shipyard as long as the criminal investigation was under way.
The leader of the Democratic Centre, Vesna Skare Ozbolt, asked Sanader whether he was frustrated by the fact that the investigation into six million dollars that have been siphoned off from the Brodosplit had not brought about results after one year, considering that he and his cabinet claimed to be vociferous advocates of the anti-corruption campaign.
