SARAJEVO/KISELJAK, June 6 (Hina) - The split within the Croatian
Democratic Union of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ BH) is too deep to be
eliminated solely on the basis of yesterday's talks between
representatives of the two currents in the party and the mediation
from HDZ President Franjo Tudjman, the Croat member in Bosnia's
collective presidency, Kresimir Zubak, said Saturday.
A compromise has been reached yesterday in Zagreb, Zubak told
reporters in Kiseljak, but the fundamental difference which could
only temporarily be overcome with yesterday's talks, still
remained.
HDZ BH officials Friday held talks with Croatian officials in
Zagreb discussing current events in the HDZ BH following the
party's recent convention and Zubak's announcement for the
establishment of a new party which would be based on the original
platform of the HDZ BH.
"I think that in the future, when facing new issues and the future of
BH and the Croats' position in it, we shall again differ in
opinions, views and assessments", Zubak said, emphasising this was
his personal opinion.
The agreement reached in Zagreb yesterday "may show results by the
time of the (Bosnian) September election", but conflicts will
recur, Zubak told reporters.
"This is perhaps even natural given the character of the party. It
still primarily functions as a movement, not a party", he said.
Zubak found it unnatural that high military officials were involved
in a party's political life.
"This is not natural for the democratic society which we want to
build, and if we want to integrate as a people into the western
democratic society, then we must free ourselves from what existed
in the former society, when professional soldiers were
simultaneously politicians", Zubak said.
He emphasised the same remarks could be made in relation to wealth-
gain because, he said, some responsible individuals in the HDZ BH
had become very rich, which brought to the split in the party on a
moral and ethical level.
