"Keeping existing jobs and having Pliva remain a recognisable brand on the European and world markets is far more important for us," Sanader said asked to comment on the latest bids for the takeover of the Croatian drugs company.

Sanader said his government would grant the takeover to the bidder who plans to invest in Pliva's development.
