HDZ YOUTH ORGANISATION TO LODGE COMPLAINT AGAINST HDZ

ZAGREB, June 29 (Hina) - The Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Youth organisation said on Saturday it would lodge a complaint with the Administrative Tribunal against a HDZ Central Committee decision which dissolved the organisation. The organisation said it was willing to collect signatures for a repeat of the latest HDZ General Assembly convention. #L# The HDZ Central Committee dissolved the organisation earlier this month and annulled an election convention without having the party's Presidency discuss it, said Ante Zoricic, HDZ Youth chairman. The HDZ Youth, which is believed to favour HDZ's Ivic Pasalic, has accused HDZ president Ivo Sanader of using the services of Prime Minister Ivica Racan and President Stjepan Mesic to square accounts with certain HDZ members, in attempts to oust them from the party and introduce dictatorship. Zoricic urged Sanader to recognise the results of the HDZ election convention and stop harassing the HDZ Youth, which Zoricic said had been and remained the youth of former HDZ and Croatian president Franjo Tudjman.
