Petritsch appointed to each of these commissions four Bosnian Croat
representatives and none of them are HDZ members.
Despite numerous requests forwarded to the HDZ to submit a list of
candidates for those important bodies, whose task is to ensure the
rights of the constituent peoples, the HDZ failed to fulfil its
obligation to defend the interests of the Croat people, Petritsch

party's conduct when it really came to defending those interests.
Denying such assessments, the HDZ in its statement pointed to the
electoral victory among the Bosnian Croat electoral body.
