RIJEKA, Dec 29 (Hina) - Members of Croatia's national minorities, who are to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections in the 12th constituency, in which minority representatives are elected, cannot express "their political
orientation", the president of the Executive Committee of the Italian Union, Maurizio Tremul, said on Wednesday. We request, as is the case in Slovenia, that members of ethnic communities have the right to double voting, Tremul told a news conference in Rijeka. Tremul protested against, as he put it, the fact that ballots in units of local self-government, in which bilingualism is guaranteed by a statute, would not be written in two languages but only in the Croatian language. This provision is not in line with the London Memorandum, nor is it in keeping with the Osimo Accords, Croatian-Italian Agreement on Minority Rights or the Constitutional Law on Minority Rights, Tremul said.(hin
