"As for the (parliamentary) commission, it will make conclusions in line with the testimonies, but the crucial statement is that the key to management and ownership rights was in the hands of the 2003 government and you know it. As for decisions made by the subsequent government, the government member proposing a certain topic is familiar with the topic. He puts it on the agenda and government members vote for or against it with full confidence. That was so also at the time of the Racan cabinet," Kosor told Social Democrat Gordan Maras, who during Question Time asked her whether she had read contracts on INA for which she voted at a government session.

Maras also asked the prime minister which one of her associates "lied before the commission of inquiry - Polancec or Suker?"

"I am not a member of the commission, but as far as I could hear in consultations, it is not true that the witnesses gave conflicting statements. The manner in which they spoke was different," Kosor said.

Asked about her meeting with Polancec, the PM reiterated that it was not a secret meeting and that she had informed the Office of the State Prosecutor about the meeting before it took place.

She added that she did not see anything disputable in her meeting with Polancec and that she only advised him to tell the truth, underlining that Polancec was not a convict and wondering why Maras was not objecting to meetings between "some other officials and people involved in other court cases".

Maras replied that the PM admitted that she had not read the documents for which she voted.

"The situation is very simple. Polancec obviously accepted your advice at that meeting. He told the truth and the truth is that he did not make the disputed decisions on his own, or in consultations with Sanader alone. Everyone in the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Presidency was involved, including you as deputy president. Polancec told the truth and it hurts in this case, which is why you expelled him from the HDZ," said Maras.
