ZAGREB, Oct 19 (Hina) - The Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) on
Tuesday dismissed an article in the latest issue of Nacional weekly headlined
"Hebrang Walks Out After Announcement of (Presidential) Candidate", stating
that it "contains a number of untruths about the alleged disagreement of HDZ
Presidency member Andrija Hebrang with the party's choice of the presidential
candidate".Contrary to the claims made in the article, Andrija Hebrang was the
first to support presidential candidate Jadranka Kosor after her nomination was
announced by party president Ivo Sanader, and the HDZ National Committee fully
supported the nomination as well, the party said in a statement.
It dismissed the article as untrue and prejudiced, claiming that the
weekly was obviously supporting the candidacy of incumbent President Stjepan
Mesic.
