Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor said on Saturday the president of the opposition Social Democratic Party (SDP), Zoran Milanovic, was doing everything to make the road to the EU harder and that as an MP, if he had been at work more frequently, he would have known everything parliament had been doing, at the government's proposal, regarding Chapter 23, Judiciary and Fundamental Rights, in Croatia's EU entry talks.
Kosor was asked by the press to comment on Milanovic's statement yesterday that it was neither normal nor necessary that EU ambassadors had seen the government's report on Chapter 23 before the Croatian public and that he was not acquainted with details of other reports that had been sent to Brussels, including on the prosecution of crime and corruption.
Kosor said everything Milanovic was doing and saying showed that he could not accept the fact that "we will be the ones to complete the negotiations and that we will become a member of the European Union."
Kosor said she was also surprised that Milanovic could speak so belittlingly of the meeting with the EU ambassadors.
