BJELOVAR, Aug 15 (Hina) - It will be shown that I have spoken the
truth when I said that the chief prosecutor of the international war
crimes tribunal, Carla del Ponte, spoke with Croatian senior
officials and mentioned Armed Forces Chief-of-Staff General Petar
Stipetic as a possible war crimes suspect, president of the
Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS), Drazen Budisa, told
reporters in Bjelovar Tuesday.
It is true that the Stipetic case has increased a lack of confidence
among the coalition of six ruling parties, he said.
"This affair will leave a mark on relations within the six parties,
but Croatia does not have a serious political alternative. We must
exert all efforts to maintain the coalition, we must redefine
relations, particularly conduct regulations," Budisa asserted.
Commenting on assessments by politicians of the Democratic Centre
party about the possible disintegration of the six parties, Budisa
said "it is understandable that Democratic Centre politicians are
wishing for the dissolution of the coalition so they might receive a
chance in a new political environment," Budisa stressed.
