ZAGREB, Sept 2 (Hina) - Ivo Sanader, president of the largest
opposition Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) party, on Saturday
voiced dissatisfaction with claims by Prime Minister Ivica Racan
and other state officials that the policy of the ruling six-party
coalition has no alternative.
"The HDZ is and wants to be the only political alternative to the
ruling six-party coalition," Sanader said, addressing reporters
during a break in today's session of the HDZ National Committee.
He rejected accusations directed against the party and attempts
aimed at discrediting it.
"After last night's meeting of the SDP (Social Democratic Party),
Prime Minister Racan threatened the HDZ with the tone of his voice
and gestures," Sanader said, adding a party president could not
threaten anyone as threats were contrary to the understanding of
democracy.
Commenting on the case of Milan Levar, a Hague witness killed in a
bomb explosion in Gospic on August 28, Sanader called on Interior
Minister Sime Lucin to publicly present information and not allow
his party president and colleagues to accuse the HDZ of that
criminal act.
