HDZ MAIN COMMITTEE ADOPTS CONCLUSIONS

ZAGREB, June 27 (Hina) - The Main Committee of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and all party bodies on Saturday night ended their session by adopting conclusions, which, among other things, appoint a working group for drawing up a draft election programme and the composition of the election headquarters. The drafts are to be submitted to the party presidency until September 3, 1999 at the latest. The working group is to suggest the election programme and the composition of the election headquarters, which will be determined at a session of the Main Committee in September this year. The draft election programme will have to stress the results of the HDZ policy; provide clear and complete answers to all problems and difficulties the Croatian citizens, society and state are faced with; give a clear plan of the country's economic development, the preservation of its internal political stability and the strengthening of its international position. The draft composition of the HDZ election headquarters should be the expression of the party's centrist policy, which was the basis of the party's historic results in the past ten years. The Main Committee and all party bodies have requested from the Government and all competent institutions to consistently implement the law on the rights of Croatian soldiers and their family members, and those who fail to implement will risk being fired. The session also adopted a proposal that all volunteers' and soldiers' associations be given the name "Gojko Susak" after the late defence minister. (hina) jn/rml,
