MOSTAR, Mar 1 (Hina) - The Mostar City Committee of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) on Saturday discussed the security and political situation in Mostar and the report by the International Police Task Force (IPTF) on the events of 10 February. "All participants in the discussion fully and unequivocally dismissed the report on the investigation results by the IPTF, deeming it incomplete, lacking in arguments, extremely one-sided and strongly biased", a statement issued after the session said. The refusal to accept the report by Croat officials in the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Bosnia-Herzegovina was assessed as a "responsible and the only possible act", the statement added. The Mostar HDZ City Committee requested restraint, peace and dignity of HDZ members and the population of Mostar, "in these difficult times of trial and the almost unbearable psychic pressure to which they are subjected to in the clash of different international concepts and interests in this area", the statement concluded.
