"I regret that our bishops and Cardinal (Josip) Bozanic have no influence whatsoever on 'Glas koncila', because if they had it, the paper would not publish such rubbish. As for Vecernji List, I regret that they do not understand the situation in the country, and this particularly refers to the daily's editors who believe that votes are still being counted at the HDZ's electoral assembly and that Ivic Pasalic will be the winner, so they follow such a policy," the President said.
President Mesic gave the statement at the opening of the World Competition of Model Ship Builders in Dubrovnik.
