Croatian Bloc president Ivic Pasalic said Croatia's recent past
would be the subject of a debate in a few months' time, when stands
would be taken on the matter. He dismissed accusations of Croatia
waging an aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s.
Miroslav Tudjman, president of the Croatian True Revival, called on
Croats, Muslims and Serbs in Bosnia to agree on equality and rid
themselves of what he said was international community tutorship.
HDZ BH vice president Andrija Hebrang said HDZ BH and Croatia's HDZ
should unite as 13 years ago because they were sister parties.
Slobodan Lang, vice president of Croatia's Democratic Centre, said
Franjo Tudjman's legacy was the unavoidable foundation for the
building of Croatia, Bosnia, and this part of Europe.
Ivan Skaric of Croatia's Social Liberals said blaming Croats in
Bosnia, especially in the Herzegovina region, would increase as the
date of parliamentary elections in Croatia approached.
