HDZ BH WILL NOT TAKE PART IN WORK OF FEDERAL PARLIAMENT

LIVNO, June 5 (Hina) - The chairman of the parliamentary bench of the Croatian Democratic Union Party of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ BH), Mate Franjicevic, on Thursday said that HDZ representatives would not take part in the work of the BH Federation Parliament's Lower House until preconditions for it, as mentioned in a letter by HDZ representatives, were provided. Bosniak (Muslim) representatives were making decisions on issues of vital national interest by abusing their absolute majority in the parliament or without representatives of HDZ BH, Franjicevic said upon returning to Livno from a Lower House meeting in the Bosnian capital. This practice completely ignored the most significant Federation Forum conclusions, he added. Franjicevic also warned that the Muslim-led Party of Democratic Action, which has the absolute majority in the Lower House, used the House of Representatives to avoid political agreements, which it earlier signed with HDZ.
