President Ivo Josipovic said on Thursday his differences with Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor were a consequence of pre-election nervousness but expects their relationship to be all right.
"We can disagree on something but we must do our job. This is evidently a case of a little pre-election nervousness. Everything will be all right," Josipovic said in Jastrebarsko.
He said the meeting Kosor had suggested would happen as soon as their offices agreed on a suitable date.
Josipovic would not comment on the opposition coalition's economic programme, stressing that he wanted to be neutral in the campaign for the parliamentary election later this year.
He said the accession treaty with the European Union should be signed as soon as possible, so as not to harm the election process.
"That's important so as not to undermine the (EU accession) referendum result, just as it's important that all political parties campaign for its success," said Josipovic.
"I don't doubt a majority (support for accession) but I want it to be convincing. The first digit should be seven, if possible," he said, adding that that would give serious legitimacy to the many reforms that still had to be carried out.
