A simultaneous analysis of elastic scattering, fusion, and total reaction cross sections for the weakly bound systems {sup 6,7}Li+{sup 28}Si at energies close to the Coulomb barrier is performed by optical model calculations. The nuclear polarization potential U is split into volume part U{sub F}, which accounts for fusion reactions and a surface part U{sub DR}, responsible for direct reactions. The parameters of the Woods-Saxon potentials are determined by a {chi}{sup 2} analysis of the data. The presence of the threshold anomaly or the breakup threshold anomaly is investigated from the energy dependence of both the fusion and direct reaction parts of the polarization potential.
