A special item on the agenda of the meeting, held in the government offices, was information on last week’s crash of an unmanned aerial vehicle near a student dorm in Zagreb.
“We believe our colleagues from the Opposition have obtained valuable new information that will help them take a position when making comments, in political debates and when assessing the seriousness of the situation,” Plenković told reporters after the talks.
He said that opposition politicians were mostly satisfied and that the information they obtained today would be useful to them when making public statements.
“(We need) the greatest possible amount of responsible behaviour, responsible statements, politics that is on the right side of both law and history… in the circumstances that have been anything but normal since 24 February,” he said.
The PM said the opposition MPs were provided with reliable and verified information that the drone was armed, that an explosion occurred and that the device in question was most probably an aerial bomb that exploded on impact.
A fuse and bomb fragments have been found and it has been established beyond doubt that the drone, normally intended for reconnaissance, was adapted to carry a weapon, he said.
