ZAGREB, Nov 27 (Hina) - The National Committee of the ruling
Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) party will convene on December 7,
HDZ spokesman Drago Krpina told reporters on Friday.
After a report by the party president on the current internal and
international situation, the committee will discuss guidelines for
the HDZ's economic and social policies in the next year, as well as
relations with other political parties.
Contacts for negotiations between the HDZ and the opposition are
under way, it is being discussed and I expect a positive outcome.
Initiatives for talks "met half-way", Krpina said when asked who
requested that the talks take place.
The HDZ will suggest that more funds be set aside from the state
budget for parties because it is very important that they have a
safe source of funds in the interest of consolidating democracy,
Krpina said, stressing that non-parliamentary parties would also
be able to count on the funds.
