ZAGREB, March 9
(Hina) - For the Croatian People's Party (HNS),
Veljko Ostojic was a good minister and an excellent colleague in the
government, but there are standards that have been set and that
everyone must stick to, HNS spokeswoman Renata Potocnik told Hina on
Saturday after Ostojic resigned as tourism minister earlier today.
She said the HNS regretted that Ostojic had to resign.
She also said one should wait for the Istrian Democratic Party's decision later today on whether it would stay or leave the ruling coalition, but said the HNS was certain the coalition would remain stable.
