HDZ BH PRESIDENCY HOLDS SESSION

( Editorial: --> 0340 ) ORASJE, June 10 (Hina) - The Presidency of the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ BH) held a session Wednesday evening in Orasje under the chairmanship of newly-elected president Anto Jelavic. The session debated preparations for a Thursday session of the new HDZ BH National Committee, also to be held in Orasje, the party's secretary-general Marko Tokic said after the session. He assessed the recent turmoil within the party, which occurred in the wake of the fifth HDZ BH convention held in Mostar mid-May, as "an inter-party dialogue, no matter how vehement it was". The National Committee will voice its views about everything at tomorrow's session, Tokic said. He also said that an invitation to attend tonight's meeting had been forwarded to Kresimir Zubak, the Croat member in Bosnia's collective Presidency, who failed to appear and did not explain his absence. Zubak recently announced the establishment of a new Bosnian HDZ. (hina) ha 102341 MET jun 98
