ZAGREB, Aug 26 (Hina) - Ante Beljo and Dario Vukic, parliamentary
deputies and long-standing members of the Croatian Democratic
Union (HDZ), have gone over to the Croatian True Revival (HIP) party
and will remain in parliament as HIP deputies until the end of their
mandates. #L#
The two officials said at a news conference on Tuesday that the
reason for their changing the party was disagreement with HDZ
president Ivo Sanader's policy and lack of vision and democracy in
the party. They also said that they saw in the HIP what was no longer
present in the HDZ - the possibility to realise political
principles defined by the HDZ's founder, Franjo Tudjman.
Asked to comment on reports that some 300 HIP members in Zadar had
recently joined the HDZ, party leader Miroslav Tudjman said this
was media misinformation and that only a dozen HIP members had
joined the HDZ.
