Ruling parties doing best to prevent latest parliament session – Kljuic

The Republican Party supports NATO strikes against Yugoslavia and believes that the West will sustain them because of (Yugoslav President Slobodan) Milosevic’s behaviour. Party President Stjepan Kljuic said, “ruling parties did their best to prevent Wednesday’s session of the BiH Federation Parliament, causing DM 80,000 in damage. If a parliamentary boycott continues, the only solution is for the OHR to prescribe extraordinary elections”.
