ZAGREB, Dec 17 (Hina) - Members of the Croatian Peasants' Party
(HSS) Presidency and Main Committee at Sunday's session assessed
the HSS had in the ruling coalition of six parties and in the
Government, been too modest, and had, as factor of stability of the
six parties, often ignored its own party interests.
The session was closed for the public. Party president Zlatko
Tomcic told reporters after the meeting the HSS asked for
discussions on everything and all problems existing in the ruling
coalition.
"We left the job for after New Year's, when we shall open the
subjects more," Tomcic announced.
"We have no need to call this a review of the work of the six
parties," Tomcic said when asked whether this meant the HSS would
review the six parties' work in January, on track of announcements
by some other parties.
"We want arguments for and against good work to be put on the table
and analysed which will contribute to strengthening the coalition
and making the government more effective," he added.
Tomcic said he remained behind assessments the coalition had no
alternative. "I still think that, but I had warned earlier an
alternative would appear if the six do not solve the accumulated
economic and social problems faster," he said.
Speaking about the work of the party, Tomcic said they had to
improve work with people and solving their economic and social
problems.
Tomcic said he had been very critical during the session, "not
because the HSS did bad work, but to warn about omissions and
stimulate the party it should help the six and the government
authorities in solving omissions in the upcoming period."
Asked about the omissions, Tomcic said they were insufficiently
fast "entries into projects promised to voters before elections".
He recalled there was still no law on an audit of the privatisation
process in effect, Croatia was still not sufficiently attractive
for foreign investments, living conditions were bad, there was no
economic momentum.
