Unfortunately, she has done nothing in that regard. She has fared better in negotiations with the European Union, the chief of the strongest opposition party said.
Milanovic recalled that the finalisation of negotiations marked the end of a process which had lasted for years, beginning during the term of the coalition government led by the SDP, and that Ivo Sanader, too, deserved some credit for the talks.
Milanovic declined to speculate what would have happened if Sanader had remained in office until the end of his mandate.
Radimir Cacic, the leader of the Croatian People's Party, the second strongest opposition party, said that positive changes during Kosor's premiership were processes leading to the conclusion of the country's accession negotiations with the EU and the clamp-down on corruption.
However, her cabinet has not been successful in the struggle against the economic crisis, Cacic said.
Cacic finds the fact that Kosor came to the helm of the government and the HDZ by voice vote to be disputable.
He described Kosor's behaviour as passive in many areas, including EU membership negotiations and graft scandals.
He criticised her government for a growing external debt and internal illiquidity.
