SIBENIK, Feb 11 (Hina) - The official election campaign will not
start on March 1 or at any nearer date, but within the legal
deadlines, before the elections are called, Croatian Democratic
Union (HDZ) vice president Vladimir Seks told reporters in Sibenik
on Thursday.
Seks stated this at a ceremony marking the ninth anniversary of the
HDZ in the Sibenik County.
He said he hoped that the "Opposition Six" would not boycott the
elections, as it was being announced, "because in that way they
would deprive themselves of participation in the central state
authority".
The disagreement which exists between the HDZ and part of the
Opposition is not impossible to overcome, Seks said adding that
some Opposition objections to the election law would be taken into
account.
Assessing that the HDZ and Opposition were still not on the path of
reaching an agreement on the participation of Croats living outside
of Croatia in the elections, Seks said that the "Opposition Six"
were making an ultimatum-like request that Croatian citizens
living abroad be denied the right to vote.
The HDZ is ready for certain changes but not for the complete
exclusion of the diaspora, he added.
