Djapic went on to say that disputes should be settled with legal means and not on the basis of an opinion of the Zagreb Law School, which he said could be binding, but did not have to be.
The HSP did not trade in local councillors' mandates, Djapic said, accusing the leading opposition party, the Social Democrats, and the ruling Croatian Democratic Union of being the first to have started trade in councillors' mandates.
The HSP is not against new elections and will run in them independently, the party leader said.
Commenting on the European Commission's proposal for the establishment of a free trade zone in the Western Balkans, Djapic said his party was against the proposal and advocated the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) as an acceptable model for the conclusion of trade agreements with non-EU members.
