Croatian President Ivo Josipovic believes that former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader should have appeared before the parliamentary commission of inquiry into INA's privatisation, regardless of the fact that he was not served with a summons.
Josipovic said in an interview with Croatian Radio on Monday that all citizens, particularly office-holders, were obliged to account for their actions before the parliament.
Describing Sanader's failure to appear before the commission as an act of ignoring the parliament, the president said he hoped that Sanader would eventually come.
Josipovic said that it was now crucial to establish under which circumstances INA's shares had been sold and why the Croatian state, which holds a certain interest in INA, did not have a corresponding share in management rights over that oil and gas group.
