BiH) on Tuesday officially confirmed its participation in the next
session of the House of Representatives of the Croat-Muslim entity
parliament, scheduled for November 28 this year.
This will mark the end of a party boycott of parliamentary sessions,
which lasted several months. HDZ deputies left both the state and
entity parliaments in spring this year, dissatisfied with the
country's new authorities, led by the Alliance for Changes, which
the party claimed did not enjoy the support of Bosnian Croats.
Boycotting the work of the two parliaments, the HDZ and some other
parties this spring declared temporary self-government in the
majority Croat areas, a move which was condemned by the
international community. The party admitted the failure of the
self-government project at a congress held in early October this
year.
Party representatives today said it was possible HDZ deputies would
soon return to the state parliament. The party has 25 seats in the
entity and five in the state parliament.
