MOSTAR, Oct 5 (Hina) - The Presidency of the Croatian Democratic
Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ BiH) decided at a session in Mostar on
Thursday evening to call on Zeljko Komsic, the candidate of the Social
Democratic Party who had been elected as Croatian member of the tripartite
Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina at Sunday's general election, to resign
from that post. "We call on Zeljko Komsic, who himself has said that
he is not a Croatian member of the BiH Presidency, that he is not a Catholic
beliver and that he does not speak the Croatian language, to resign, as a moral
act, from a post that belongs to the Croatian people," the HDZ BiH Presidency
said in a statement issued after the session.
The statement said that by voting for Komsic the Bosniaks "used their
well-known numerical superiority to prevent the Croats from choosing their own
representative on the BiH Presidency."
The HDZ BiH Presidency said that the whole election process was unfair
and that as such it "resulted in two representatives of the Bosniak people
being elected on the BiH Presidency and no representative of the Croatian
people."
