BOSNIAN HDZ PRESIDENT ADRESSES 4TH CONVENTION OF HDZ IN BOSNIA

NEUM, Aug 2 (Hina) - The 4th convention of the Bosnian Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) began on Friday. Participating in the convention are envoys of all municipal, town and canton organizations of the Bosnian HDZ, as well as the HDZ youth. #L# The convention was opened by president of the Bosnian HDZ Bozo Rajic, who submitted a report. Rajic's address focused on the signing of the Washington Agreement, as well as the project of the Bosnian Federation which is based on this agreement. "The HDZ and Croats saw the project as a resolution for reaching their goal of equality and sovereignty, Moslem politics saw it only as a means for fulfilling their goal, which is domination by the majority nation," Rajic said. He added that the Democratic Action Party (SDA) hindered the establishment of the Federation. The pressure of the international community on Croats and their leadership did not cease, and was these days reaching its momentum, Rajic said. He cited examples of such pressure as accusations by the International Crimes Tribunal against Bosnian Croats. Rajic said that the ratio of indicted Croats, as members of a minority nation in Bosnia was insupportable versus the others that had been indicted, which caused Croats to doubt the impartiality of the Tribunal.
