Croatia's Prime Minister Ivo Sanader may reshuffle his government before European Union membership talks start in March, after a key ally quit amid corruption allegations, newspapers reported on Wednesday.
Zuzul was considered Sanader's right-hand man, and the two jointly led Croatia's drive to become a candidate for EU membership, which the wealthy bloc approved last June.
Newspapers named chief EU negotiator and European Integration Minister Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic as the likeliest replacement for Zuzul as Foreign Minister, but said between two and four other ministers may be removed from their posts.

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - The prime minister on Thursday condemned parts of a crowd and the singer at a public welcome-home party honoring Croatia's newly crowned handball world champions for giving Nazi salutes.
Most Croatian media have condemned the salutes, but an association of veterans of Croatia's 1991 war insisted Thursday that it was a "traditional Croatian salute." The war pitted Croat forces against rebel Serbs.
Insignia and rhetoric reminiscent of Croatia's Nazi past were often seen in Croatia during the 10-year-rule of the late President Franjo Tudjman's nationalists.

 Slobodan Milosevic Dies in Prison Cell
He was accused of orchestrating a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing against non-Serbs during the collapse of the Yugoslav federation—his attempt to link Serbia with Serb-dominated areas of Croatia and Bosnia to create a new Greater Serbia.
He once described himself as the "Ayatollah Khomeini of Serbia," assuring his prime minister, Milan Panic, that "the Serbs will follow me no matter what." For years, they did—through wars that dismembered Yugoslavia and plunged what was left of the country into social, political, moral and economic ruin.
At Dayton, Milosevic accepted a deal abandoning Croatia's rebel Serbs, who were driven from their homes when the Croatian army recaptured almost all the land the Serbs had seized there in 1991.
