"The report of the special auditor abounds in arbitrary and
groundless statements and blanket accusations aimed at
discrediting the leadership of the HDZ BiH," read a press release
issued by the party's public relations office on Thursday evening.
The party calls on competent bodies of Bosnia's authorities to
present the real facts based on arguments.
The press release added that the entire debt of the HDZ BiH to the
said company for the unpaid bills for electricity came to 14,612
convertible marks (approx. 7,300 euros) with the date of 6 March
2003.
High Representative Paddy Ashdown on Thursday said
"Elektroprivreda Herceg-Bosne" had been in service of financing,
he said, the empire of the HDZ.
