RIJEKA, July 8 (Hina) - Four regional political parties -- PGS, HDSSB,
MDS and ZDS -- on Thursday held a meeting in Delnice at which they
said that the regional option was the only possible alternative to the
ruling coalition led by the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and to the
so-called Kukuriku opposition coalition led by the Social Democratic
Party (SDP).
Representatives of the regional coalition called "Regionala" criticised the failure to implement the fiscal and political decentralisation of Croatia.
They lambasted the new tax system which they said would reduce budget revenues of units of local self-government by HRK 500 million.
