H.E. Ambassador Wolfgang Petritsch, the High Representative Your Excellency, In order to eliminate prejudices related to the HDZ role in the process of government constitution in BiH that followed the general elections of November last year, I would like to emphasize that the constitutional framework and respect for the votersą will of the constituent peoples and citizens represent the basis for activities of my political party and my personal activities in the capacity of a Croat member of the BH Presidency. Similarly, I fully endorse the implementation of the Constitutional Court Decision on Constitutionality of all peoples throughout BiH, which leads toward the standardization of rights of peoples and citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Only equal status of peoples and citizens in political activities and in institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina guarantees prosperity and self-sustainability of the country. Since the beginning of the process of implementation of election results, the HDZ has been involved, on the basis of election results, in the process of government constitution at all levels, and shall also get involved in the process in all Cantons. The process of the establishment of the BH Federation House of Peoples shall commence, and shall be followed by the establishment of the House of Peoples at the State level, once the BH Constitutional Court issues a decision on the constitutionality of the OSCE Decisions on the House of Peoples. I would like to stress our readiness for dialog and those solutions that will, on the basis of the BH Constitution, confirm commitment to the idea of democratic Bosnia and Herzegovina with three constituent peoples and equal citizens, and we oppose the policy of ethnic narrow-mindedness and radicalism.
