STATEMENT FOLLOWING RULING HDZ PRESIDENCY SESSION

ZAGREB, Feb 7 (Hina) - The Presidency of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) held an extended session Monday, chaired by Dr. Franjo Tudjman, to consider the party's activities regarding current domestic and foreign policies. The HDZ Presidency stressed that the party's programme policies devised at the HDZ II General Convention should be carried out more resolutely and consistently, and emphasised the importance of the persistent and determined implementation of State policies concerning the peaceful reintegration of the occupied areas into the Croatian constitutional and legal order. The HDZ Presidency believes that full party and national unity is necessary in the implementation of State policies. The Presidency cared about each party member, but warned that if anyone failed to abide by fundamental elements of HDZ policies and the Statute, they should leave. The HDZ party will be consistent in its engagement in the future political and economic stabilization of Croatia. The party fully supports the Government in carrying out the unanimous State policies. The HDZ Presidency holds that special attention should be devoted to the programme of the social welfare in the State policies, according to a statement issued after the HDZ Presidency session.
