Croat Demo-Christians President Milic sends letter to Jelavic
President of the Croat Demo-Christians in the BiH Federation Petar Milic sent a letter to HDZ BiH President Ante Jelavic. In the letter, Milic called for the holding of a Croat congress to discuss strategic directions for the establishment of a Croat republic in the BiH Federation. According to Milic, the Croats should use the congress to agree to such issues as the establishment of an assembly, government and independent judiciary. Milic insisted that the establishment of Croat institutions would not mean the immediate secession of the Croats from the BiH Federation.
