ONE BOSNIAN CROAT PARTY ACCEPTS TUDJMAN'S INVITATION FOR TALKS

( Editorial: --> 5576 ) SARAJEVO, Aug 24 (Hina) - One Bosnian Croat party has accepted the invitation of the Croatian President Franjo Tudjman for talks while most of other parties declined to participate. The Croatian Party of Rights of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HSP BiH) is honoured and it believes that the invitation is an additional effort by President Tudjman to do as much as he can for the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina, said HSP BiH president Zdravko Hrstic, who accepted the invitation for the meeting, scheduled for August 26 in Zagreb. Gradimir Gojer, BH Presidency candidate from the Social-Democratic Party (SDP) of Bosnia-Herzegovina told reporters he would not go to the meeting because it would not solve huge problems that exist in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Croatian President was "interfering in the sensitive election process in the neighbouring state" with his invitation, Gojer added. However, the invitation is also the recognition of the fact that the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) is not the exclusive representative of Croat interests in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Gojer said. Kresimir Zubak of the New Croat Initiative (NHI) said the final decision on Tudjman's invitation would be made by the party presidency. Zubak said the commitments he had accepted earlier did not allow him to visit Zagreb but also added that the proposed agenda of the meeting was unacceptable. Senka Nozica, who was put up as BH Presidency candidate by the Republican Party and Liberal Bosniak Organisation, has refused Tudjman's invitation. The Croatian Peasants' Party (HSS) of Bosnia-Herzegovina will announce its final stand on the invitation for talks on Tuesday. (hina) rml 241504 MET aug 98
