Introducing something new now, when everything is ready for European Union funds, lacks seriousness and is risky for Croatia, Tomislav Karamarko said.
The division of Croatia into two regions was criticised also by the Croatian Party of Rights Dr. Ante Starcevic, which said it would prevent the equal development of the country and called for a referendum on the matter.
The party said such division was a move whereby the "government continues to curry favour with the European region."
