PULA, April 24 (Hina) - Liberal Party (LS) vice president Helena Stimac Radin told journalists in Pula on Thursday the gathering of right-wing parties that was initiated by Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) president Ivo Sanader should
be taken seriously, and that it was a signal to the ruling coalition that only by facing the election together would it manage to win another term.

Zlatko Kramaric, another LS vice president, said this party was
prepared to continue co-operating with its current coalition
partners. He welcomed the fact that the electoral law had not been
changed which, he said, "guarantees political stability in the
state". He expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the
exact date of the election had still not been decided.
Stimac Radin said the pre-election campaigning had already begun
and that it appeared the ballot would see a clash between the right
and left wing blocs which, she said, would "cause new divisions in
the country".
