DJAPIC SAYS HSP WON'T SUPPORT HDZ-LED GOVERNMENT

ZAGREB, Dec 8 (Hina) - After consultations with Croatian President Stjepan Mesic about appointing the premier-designate, Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) leader Anto Djapic told reporters on Monday evening his party would not support the Croatian Democratic Union- led government. "At this moment nothing has changed which would make the HSP change its position," Djapic said. He said the party would hold a session which would discuss the HSP Presidency's decision not to support Ivo Sanader's government. Djapic said that Mesic had clearly told him there were no obstacles for the HSP to become part of the executive authority in Croatia. "President Mesic also said it was inadmissible for anyone to interfere with the forming of the Croatian government. He condemned the inappropriate behaviour of certain EU ambassadors regarding the election results in Croatia and post-election agreements," Djapic told reporters. According to him, "at the dinner with European envoys on December 16, Mesic will stress that the Croatian people independently decides about the forming of its government and that it is inadmissible for anyone outside of Croatia to make such decisions".
