The relevant cabinet ministers presented outlines of the pension reform plan and the second phase of the tax reform to the leadership of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) party on Monday evening, Prime Minister and HDZ leader Andrej Plenovikc told the press after a three-hour meeting of the HDZ presidency and the national council.

He said that the ideas presented were received well and that he expected further public consultation and debate on the best and viable solutions.
