Former Croatian PM Ivo Sanader is feeling better and is waiting for test results which will determine which bacteria caused his pneumonia, dr. Miroslav Samarzija of the Pulminary Clinic Jordanovac said, the Jutarnji list daily writes.

Sanader was admitted at the hospital on August 6 with a high temperature, when he was diagnosed with pneumonia. The former HDZ head will remain in hospital for another week.

- It will take him a month to fully recover – dr. Samarzija added.

 According to the daily, which cites a close friend of Sanader`s, the former premier no longer has a high temperature. However, despite his improving health, Sanader will only receive visits from family members.
