BOSNIAN CROAT PARTY DEMANDS PEOPLES' EQUALITY IN BOTH ENTITIES

( Editorial: --> 8327 ) SARAJEVO, Oct 14 (Hina) - The New Croat Initiative (NHI), a Bosnian Croat party, on Wednesday forwarded a demand to the international high representative for Bosnia to initiate the changing of constitutions of Bosnia's two entities. The demand was forwarded with the aim to ensure throughout Bosnian territory full equality of Bosnia's three constituent peoples. The Croat-Muslim Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina is defined as the entity with Croats and Muslims as constituent peoples, and the Bosnian Serb entity, Republika Srpska, as the entity with Serbs as the only constituent people. According to NHI president Kresimir Zubak, such constitutions reduce the rights of certain peoples, thus violating the regulations of the Bosnian constitution, the peoples' acquired rights, as well as the Dayton peace agreement.
