MOSTAR, Aug 31 (Hina) - The Croatian Christian Democratic Union
(HKDU) of Bosnia-Herzegovina has publicly apologised to the
Bosnian Croat people for its participation in last year's
establishment of Croat self-rule, calling it a fraud. #L#
A year and a half ago, the HKDU together with the Croatian
Democratic Union (HDZ) and similar parties declared Croat self-
government, which the HDZ later admitted was a mistake.
The HKDU has decided to run in the October 5 elections on its own,
refusing a coalition with the HDZ, the Croatian Christian Democrats
and the Croatian People's Union.
According to the party, elitist secret societies, serving every
other interest except their people's, launched the project of Croat
self-rule at a wrong time and in a wrong way thus jeopardising the
survival of Bosnian Croats.
So far, this is the strongest criticism of the project by a party
participating in it.
