DJAPIC:HSP READY TO TAKE PART OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR CROATIA'S FUTURE

SISAK, Dec 16 (Hina) - In the town of Sisak (50 kilometres south of Zagreb), the coalition of the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) and the Croatian Christian Democratic Union (HKDU) on Thursday presented its coalition candidates in the sixth electoral unit for the coming Croatian parliamentary election. The HSP President Anto Djapic, the bearer of the HSP-HKDU coalition's list in the 6th constituency stressed that thanks to its consistency and organised manner in the implementation and respect for Starcevic's statehood ideas in the last nine years, his party proved to be the only relevant political force, after the death of Croatia's first President Franjo Tudjman, that can preserve the Croatian sovereignty and the dignity and pride of the Croatian man, as well as values of the Homeland War which helped create the independent Croatian State. Speaking in the sports centre "Brezovica" in Sisak, where some 2000 people gathered, Djapic added that the HSP was taking its part of responsibility for the destiny and future of the Croatian nation and homeland. "By clear political stands and stamina HSP defended the pride of the Croatian man and people in the last nine years," Djapic said recalling that his party showed the consistency by opposing the transfer of accused Croats to the Hague-based war crimes tribunal, the adoption of amnesty law and the law and decrees adjustment act and being against the return of Serbs who were involved in the aggression against Croatia.
