Although he was seen as lacking decisiveness as prime minister, and did not prove effective in tackling corruption, he also showed willingness to negotiate, listen to others' opinions, and seek a compromise.
Iako se smatralo kako kao premijer nije posjedovao dovoljnu odlučnost, i iako se nije pokazao učinkovitim u izlaženju na kraj s korupcijom, Račan je također pokazao spremnost pregovarati, uvažavati mišljenja drugih i težiti kompromisu.
