The president received a delegation of the council which monitors the implementation of the Corruption Prevention Strategy.
Commenting on the operation at Zagreb's medical school, Josipovic said the police and judicial responses showed Croatia's clear commitment to zero tolerance to corruption and that there were no exceptions.
Seks said all elements indicated that nobody, regardless of function, was exempted in the clampdown on corruption.
He said the delegation met with the president to win his support for the work of the national anti-corruption council, describing it as an important control mechanism which, on the parliament's behalf, monitored the implementation of anti-corruption programmes and action plans and the Corruption Prevention Strategy.
Josipovic praised the council's work and ambitions, saying this new body was not formed on the basis of political affiliation. "On the contrary, it is chaired by a representative of the opposition, which is very good", he said.
