"As we have announced, we have prepared an overview of everything we have done in the last two and a half years, and most importantly a financial report that shows what we did this year, what cost-cutting measures we took, how we passed the present budget and implemented it in keeping with the Fiscal Responsibility Act," Kosor told reporters.

"Nothing is over. This is a new beginning for the HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) and me personally," she said, adding that her party had begun preparations for the next election and that her government had done a great job, as shown by some speeches in Parliament that praised her government for its achievements.

Kosor said she would most probably chair the Anti-Corruption Council.

Commenting on the programme of the ruling coalition, Kosor said that it was not a programme actually but a list of principles without specific proposals. She announced "tough and heated debates over (the new government's) planned course of action."
