ZAGREB, June 12, 2020 – The Bridge party and the Croatian Republican Party (HRS), a non-parliamentary party active in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Friday, signed an agreement on their coalition for Croatia’s parliamentary elections in constituency no.11 covering Croatian nationals abroad.
Bridge political secretary Nikola Grmoja said at a news conference that this alliance enables “the Croat people in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the Diaspora to finally have their authentic representatives of integrity, who will represent the Croatian people from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Diaspora in a coherent manner in the Sabor.”
The leader of the HRS party, Slaven Raguz, said that they had acceded to the cooperation with the Bridge party “as for the first time in the history of the Sabor, a political group from Croatia has recognised the political subjectivity of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the Diaspora.”
“For the first time, Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in expatriate communities can now vote for people who will clearly and in articulated manner care for the real problems they are faced with,” Raguz said.
