INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WILL SUPPORT CHAMPIONS OF DAYTON

( Editorial: --> 8679 ) SARAJEVO, June 3 (Hina) - The Croat member of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina Kresimir Zubak, received the German Ambassador to BH Hennecke Graf von Bassewitz in Sarajevo on Wednesday. They talked about the current political situation in BH, especially the split in the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia-Herzegovina following the party's convention held mid-May in Mostar. Zubak informed the German ambassador that there exists a "strong will" for the foundation of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Croatian Democratic Union "as a legitimate pursuer of the original policies of HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union)", said a statement from Zubak's office. The statement points out that Zubak said the current situation should not be interpreted as a conflict between the "Bosnian" and "Herzegovinian" factions within HDZ. The German ambassador said every pluralism was a sign of democratic progress and maturing. He stressed that the international community would support those who continue with the implementation of policies congruent with the Dayton agreement. (hina) jn bag/ha 031954 MET jun 98
