          TUDJMAN REFUSED TO CONFIRM THE ELECTION OF JOZO RADOS

Zagreb, Feb 2O, 1996 (Press TWRA) - Office of Croatia's president
issued two-day-late announcement that president Tudjman refused 
to confirm Jozo Rados as the Zagreb mayor and the Zagreb County's
head. Of three deputy heads of Zagreb's County, Tudjman confirmed
Bozidar Pankretic (Croatian Peasant Party, HSS, son of now most
popular HSS member, Josip Pankretic), and Igor Dekanic (Croatian
People's party, HNS) but refused to confirm Eduard Kunjko (member
of Croatian Independent Democrat, HND, the party of dissidents
and the former leading members of the ruling party HDZ).
     Before Rados (vice-chairman of HSLS), Tudjman refused to
confirm another HSLS member as the Zagreb Mayor, Goran Granic.
Tudjman's Office refers to refusal of Rados as "ensuring regular
functions of executive authorities of town and County of Zagreb. 
     Tudjman's refusal of the authorities take-over in Zagreb was
the matter discussed last week between K. Kinkel with Croatian
opposition when German vice-chancellor told that Tudjman had a
"ridiculous" (as the chairman of HNS Cacic claims), i.e. "odd"
(as other Croat opposition leaders claim) understanding of
democracy. It is also the matter of correspondence between the
seven vice-chairmen of the opposition coalition and Tudjman.
After Tudjman's response to their letter, seven opposition
leaders sent him another letter describing his reply as worrying
for many reasons. Opposition rejects with indignation accusations
of its doing all to win foreign circles over their main goal - to
discredit, destabilize and replace democratically elected
government. "You have the right not to confirm legally elected
Zagreb mayor but have no right to accuse without arguments those
who support democracy but do not agree with you in all respects.
Do you think that foreign circles need our winning over them to
find out what is going on?" is the message of opposition leaders
to Croatian president. /end/ A.S.
