Asked by press if HSLS members would leave the government and ministries, Kosor said she had "information that some are staying."

"It's only Monday, we'll see. What I can tell you with certainty is that the government's support in parliament is secure. This is a message to the (opposition) Kukuriku coalition - the government will implement its programme," Kosor said.

"They have made plans how to distribute offices and supervisory committees among themselves, which they are entitled to do, but we are doing our job with full and real support in parliament."

Responding to a question from press, Kosor said she and Deputy PM Djurdja Adlesic (of the HSLS) had "talked about the moves the government has to take."

"We had an excellent talk today... Our cooperation has been excellent, notably over the past year. We talked about moves the government has to take and we will continue to talk."

HSLS president Darinko Kosor said on Saturday the party's presidency had voted to leave the ruling coalition "disgruntled with the coalition's performance and accusations that the HSLS is a disloyal partner."

The PM said today "no one has accused the HSLS of disloyalty," adding that the HSLS leader had not made even one complaint about the coalition's performance and that before leaving the coalition he had not requested to meet for talks even once.

"That would have made sense, to say the least. Actually, (Darinko) Kosor started leaving the coalition when he became president of the HSLS," said the PM.

"That was obvious many times, primarily when he often commented on and criticised the government's decisions. I think he has damaged Deputy PM Adlesic the most," Kosor said, adding that Adlesic had voted for government decisions which he later criticised.

"I think this is about a certain fear of the moves we have to make regarding difficult decisions, but when the going gets tough, the tough get going," said the PM.
