MOSTAR, July 15
(Hina) - Officials of the two Croatian Democratic
Union parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina -- HDZ BiH and HDZ 1990 -- on
Thursday welcomed a decision of the international community's High
Representative Valentin Inzko to declare the current government in
Central Bosnian canton null and void, adding that this was a positive
towards the improvement of relations between Bosniaks and Croats in
that central Bosnian region which were undermined by noninclusion of
Croat representatives, who won a majority of support among the Croat
electorate.
"This offers an opportunity for fresh start of coexistence of Croats and Bosniaks," HDZ BiH Deputy President Nikola Lovrinovic told media in Mostar.
It is most important that the reality in the canton has been acknowledged, he added.
HDZ 1990 leader Bozo Ljubic said that the High Representative's decision was logical.
