The HKDU wants younger people among its leaders, with a new vision,
Kovacevic told reporters, stressing the HKDU was very glad that the
Croatian Democratic Union had won recent parliamentary elections
and that there had been a change of government.
Kovacevic said the HKDU expected the new authorities to make the
right moves and radical changes -- return money owed to pensioners,
return money stolen from Croatia, and review the relationship with
the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and the Hague war
crimes tribunal.
HKDU honorary president Marko Veselica said the party wanted the
"democratic Christian option to gain a better position on the
Croatian political scene, to oppose the colonisation of Croatia and
reject the Western Balkans as an option, to advocate a better
economic and social strategy, a better demographic policy, while
(the party) is against abortion and same-sex marriages".
The HKDU is no longer a parliamentary party after failing to cross
the five-percent threshold at last month's polls.
