So are the doors of the political institutions to everybody who respects them. I, too, remain open to dialogue with those HDZ officials who wish to work within the Constitution. As to radicalisation, nobody has an interested in an escalation of the situation. However, I am concerned that private citizens are trying to take command of parts the Federation army. Therefore, I expect that the police and the army will continue to operate under the umbrella of the legitimate institutions.
Every new government has to earn the support of the people it is responsible to.
I am confident that the new government will address the concerns of the Croat people. The HDZ used the changed electoral rules as a pretext for their campaigning of fear and being jeopardised. Had the HDZ taken up their seats in the House of Peoples, they would have had a majority of the Croat seats. In addition, the HDZ holds the absolute majority in three Cantonal Assemblies. Rather the leadership of the HDZ chose to take care of their own personal interests over those of their people.
