The Croatian government held a closed-door session on Tuesday and adopted an opinion on an opposition proposal for a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor and forwarded it to parliament, the government's public relations office said in a statement.
Parliament is due to convene on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, moved by the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
A total of 58 deputies of the SDP, the Croatian People's Party, the Istrian Democratic Party, the Croatian Pensioners Party, the Croatian Party of Rights and the Labour Party signed a petition for the no-confidence vote.
They hold Kosor responsible for a deteriorating economic situation in the country, failure to implement reforms and poor public credibility, stressing that this was caused by numerous financial scandals and internal conflicts in the ruling Croatian Democratic Union.
