During the discussion, Djurovic, a member of the regional HDSSB party, criticised Bajic for reportedly meeting with a former US ambassador and two US intelligence agents, as revealed by WikiLeaks. He also criticised the chief prosecutor for exchanging text messages with former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, which were released by the web portal Index.hr.

"Mr Djurovic indeed does not have a conservative approach. He takes information from web portals, from WikiLeaks onwards, for granted, as facts. If DORH took such an approach, half the country would be in jail," Bajic said.

Bajic said he could not confirm the authenticity of text messages he had allegedly sent to Sanader, adding that the purpose of their publication was "to defame the system and turn the accused into a political victim."

When asked if it meant that the text messages were made up, he replied: "I didn't say if they were made up or not. We have such a software system that would have recorded any such messages and according to my computer system there is no such information there."

"The case should be brought back to the courtroom rather than be dragged through the media," he said and stressed that he would formally respond to the allegations about the text messages in the courtroom.

During the discussion, Bajic told Labour Party leader Dragutin Lesar that DORH was aware of problems relating to unpaid wages, adding that in those cases DORH "perhaps should have acted regardless of courts' views."

DORH has rejected charges for failure to pay wages saying that the existing case law requires proof of intent, which Lesar said was unacceptable. Bajic warned that the new Criminal Code too, which is to enter into force on January 1, does not provide for the objective responsibility of the employer for failure to pay wages.
