GRANIC DEMANDS THAT CONFLICT AMONG HDZ LEADERSHIP BE STOPPED

ZAGREB, Jan 12 (Hina) - According to unofficial sources, Wednesday's session of the Croatian Democratic Union's Presidency should discuss a conflict among the party leadership which, judging by public appearances of party heads, is culminating in the past several days. The HDZ vice president and a candidate at presidential elections, Mate Granic, left the session. He told reporters that at the session he demanded that the Presidency discontinue all conflicts. Unless this is done, I will make some radical moves, Granic said. When asked to explain which moves would that be, Granic told reporters they would be informed of that in the near future. He added that he expected to receive the support of the Presidency. "I believe I can win at the presidential elections", Granic stressed. I am greatly accepted at electoral rallies, and each of the rallies organised so far were excellent, he added. "I have a clear programme, and I believe that I have skills necessary for performing president's duties much better than other candidates. I don't have to change anything from what I have been doing in the past eight and a half years, Granic stressed. "Therefore I will firmly fight, but I cannot run the campaign with the current situation in the HDZ Presidency", said Granic. I will completely and entirely personalise my campaign, he added. When asked why he did not stay until the end of the session, Granic said he was just on his way to several electoral rallies. (hina) it
