24 January 2008 | 15:19 | Source: Tanjug SARAJEVO -- The Bosnian HDZ has presented Ivo Sanader a proposal whereby Bosnia-Hercegovina would be split into 4 federal units.

During yesterday’s one-hour meeting, President of the Bosnian branch of the Croatian Democratic Community (HDZ) Dragan Čović and the Croatian prime minister discussed the Kosovo crisis and its possible bearing on the situation in Bosnia-Hercegovina, as well as relations between the Bosnian HDZ and HDZ 1990, reported the Bosnian HDZ public relations department.

“Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs should transform Bosnia-Hercegovina into a decentralized, democratic, legal and social state, made up of federal units having equal rules and responsibilities,” explained Čović, report Bosnian media.

The Bosnian HDZ leader reiterated that the leaders of all six leading Croat political parties in Bosnia-Hercegovina had decided two weeks ago to support a concept according to which the country would comprise three federal units and the district of Sarajevo as a fourth.

“As a constituent people within Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croats should have Croatian-language radio and TV programs, and that will be one of the conditions of organizing the Bosnian informative system,” he explained.

Čović said that division within the country would exist as long as there was no new Constitution guaranteeing equal rights for all three of the country’s ethnic groups.

A meeting of the six Croat party leaders, where they are expected to address the subject of constitutional change, is due to take place in Široki Brijeg on February 2.
