  Croatian Democratic Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The HDZ was founded in June 1989 by Croatian nationalist dissidents led by Franjo Tuđman.
In terms of ideology, HDZ leaders at first described their party as right-wing, and Tuđman himself stated that he was inspired by Thatcherism.
Although the HDZ remained the largest party, it was thoroughly defeated by a left-centre coalition of six opposition parties and many saw large turnout as referendum against the HDZ, just as the 1990 elections had been seen as referendum on Communism and Yugoslavia.

 NATO/SFOR : Transcript of Press Briefing, 6 February 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
What is most puzzling is that, although the HDZ Presidency refuses to do what is their duty on the Canton and Federation levels, it insists that the BiH Presidency's candidate for the Chair of the Council of Ministers be supported.
President Jelavic committed himself and the HDZ on numerous occasions to obey the decision of the Constitutional Court with regard to his complaint.
We have been very clear with the HDZ in what we expect from them and I think it is time for the HDZ to live up to their promises that they made to the electorate.

 HDZ files problems, etc. - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
Errors loading the HDZ files on application launch: Quite frequently, when launching HD after having closed it with all of the characters open, HD will complain about a template file (the normal template name followed by a sometimes looong string of digits) not being found.
Apparently the Mac seems to recognize the HDZ file as a zip file (which it is) and prepends some binary information of its own to the head of the file (this information does not exist in the original file on the Mac).
While it was clear to me from the documentation that the HDZ files could be used for transporting the files, it wasn't clear that they should *only* be used for transporting files.

 HDZ distributed calendars with Pavelić portrait   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The HDZ of Sesvete distributed on New Year's a calendar titled "Historical Croatia," with the page for every month bore an image of a notable Croatian historical figure, from [medieval princes] Trpimir, Domagoj and Branimir, to Franjo Tuđman, whose picture graces the December 2004 page.
Chairman of Sesvete HDZ Ivan Dujmović said he had ordered the calendar after seeing the Illyrian version, and that they were distributing the calendars to their members and sympathizers only after ripping out the pages with Pavelić, quotes Jutarnji list.
Spokesman for the HDZ said that the party had nothing to do with these calendars, and that this must have been a provocation, while the Sesvete HDZ branch claimed Pavelić had to have been a plant by the rival Croatian Bloc.

 Croatian Government Slowly Takes Shape   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
One of the challenges HDZ faces is to reverse the party's international image, stained by its past nationalist policies and poor human rights record during the 1990s.
HDZ had secured only 66 of 152 parliamentary seats and was forced to negotiate a coalition.
Though Sanader has promised to reverse the damage that the HDZ did to Croatia's image in the 1990s, take the country into the EU in 2007, and cooperate with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague, some of the party’s members have suggested the opposite.

 Technomanagers to bring down Sanader’s government – NACIONAL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Nacional has learned from sources close to the HDZ leadership that Hebrang believes that such changes will not occur as long as the government vice-president responsible for economic issues is Damir Polančec, and that the economy is in the hands of Branko Vukelić, whom he assesses to be completely incompetent.
Particularly since several of the HDZ factions have distanced themselves from Sanader: from the “HDZ founders” who are no longer in power, to the activists in the Zagreb branch of HDZ who recently attacked the party president for continuing to protect Jadranka Kosor.
HDZ is very dissatisfied with his decisions and the ruling party believes that Rohatinski is more strict with the Sanader government than he was with the Račan government.

 Central Europe Review - Croatian Politics - A Match Not to be Missed
The HDZ would not tolerate this and opted for the following solution: the Zagreb county and city of Zagreb were merged into a single administrative unit, and extraordinary elections to the assembly of this new unit, called City and County of Zagreb, were held.
The HDZ then decided to use a similar trick as it had before the 1995 elections: to separate the City of Zagreb from Zagreb county (suburbs) and thus instigate new elections.
The HDZ thus resolved the "unnatural situation," as President Tuđman called it, claiming that it was unacceptable for different parties to rule the country's capital than the one that was ruling the country itself.

In the announcement of the HSLS County's Council of the Primorje-Goran County,Teodor Antic writes the decision of HSLS on talks with HDZ opposes the decision of this year's HSLS resolution where the monopoly of HDZ to power is described as a vital barrier to general development of Croatia.
It is the case when a party, like HDZ in Croatia, offers partnership to another, also reputable party, and the two of them form a long-term partnership, practically leading the political life of the state in the long run.
HDZ, as an organizer has not invited the opposition to the ceremony or, unlike in prior ceremonies, included as co-organizers, claiming their right as the only successor of S. Radic's work and deed.

Apart from HDZ, the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) seems to be the most prepared of the opposition parties for the elections in the Diaspora.

Despite the newest conflicts in the left-wing, SDP continues to be primarily concentrated on Ivo Sanader and HDZ as their primary political rivals.
A high ranking HDZ source confirmed for Nacional that the leadership of the ruling party is divided as to future cooperation with HSP.
A complete rift is the result of the Glavas affair and the decision made by Sanader and Seks to violate the agreement made with Djapic to release Branimir Glavas to face trial as a free man. Anto Djapic interpreted this as a provocation and decided to use Glavas’ case to increase HSP’s influence.

 [sim] HDZ - protiv Republike Srpske
Ovakvu inicijativu čelnici HDZ-a BiH obrazložili su nefunkcionalnošću susjednog nam entiteta, te predložili da Bosna i Hercegovina bude organizovana kao država sastavljena od 12 kantona.
Gotovo paralelno sa iznošenjem ovakvih stavova Socijalističke partije i HDZ-a, sličan stav iznijela je i grupa evropskih parlamentaraca, odnosno Evropska inicijativa za stabilnost.
Ukidanjem Federacije, kako to HDZ predlaže, ukinula bi se samo jedna – federalna Vlada, a ostalo bi deset kantonalnih, i to dodatno ojačanih.

 International Crisis Group - Change in the Offing: The Shif   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Thus for most of the period of HDZ rule in Croatia, large chunks of the country remained outside Zagreb's control, and the overriding priority was to restore Croatia's territorial integrity, a goal which was finally achieved in January 1998.
The HDZ has lost credibility due to a succession of scandals, including a crisis at Dubrovacka banka, in which senior HDZ figures were implicated, the allegations regarding the intelligence services, and revelations regarding Tudjman family finances.
As the opposition and the HDZ manoeuvre before and after the elections, Croatia is in for a period of instability in the medium term.

 Ivo Sanader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1992 he was elected as an HDZ's deputy to the lower house of the Croatian parliament.
HDZ, nevertheless, failed to win the absolute majority in Sabor, even with its new allies the Democratic Center and the Croatian Social-Liberals.
Amongst other factors contributing to the positive opinion of the European Commission and the European Council regarding Croatia's bid to become an EU member were Croatia's cooperation with the ICTY, continued economic growth and country's compliance with the political and economic criteria established by the 1993 Copenhagen European Council.

 ISN Security Watch - Croatia's HDZ makes astonishing u-turn
However, this does not necessarily mean that HDZ rule will be problem-free or that Sanader may be fully trusted to implement the reforms that he’s promised and usher Croatia into the European Union by 2007, as planned by his predecessor, former Socialist prime minister Ivica Racan.
The most dramatic change in HDZ policy is its approach to ethnic minorities, particularly Serb and Italian communities.
The HDZ’s apparently remarkable turnaround doesn’t however mean that the party’s term in office will run smoothly or that the reforms Sanader has promised will be implemented, analysts say.

Once run by hardline nationalists, the HDZ now pledges to promote the return of Serb refugees who fled Croatia during the conflict in the 1990s.
If the outcome of the elections is confirmed, the HDZ will have to prove it is ready to commit to these basic criteria - which will open the door to further negotiation on European Union membership.

 Croatia, in Parliamentary and Presidential Elections, Decisively Rejects Hard-liners’ Policies
In neighboring Bosnia, the decisive rejection of hard-liner Tudjman’s HDZ was greeted with widespread approval by Bosniak Muslims and moderate Croats.
Because Herzegovina is heavily dominated by HDZ voters, a repeat of the voting process to correct the deficiency may slightly reduce the total number of HDZ seats in parliament.
Foreign Minister Mate Granic, the candidate of President Tudjman’s hard-line HDZ and a moderate in that party, finished third with 22 percent of the vote and was eliminated from further contention in the presidential race.

 US hails new ruling coalition: Tudjman's ultra-nationalist party defeated in Croatian elections
The precise dimensions of the HDZ defeat are not yet known due to a complex system of proportional representation and the need for fresh elections in some areas following allegations of ballot rigging.
The HDZ have nominated former Foreign Minister Mate Granic—regarded as a moderate and Washington's favourite to replace Tudjman—as their presidential candidate.
The US and Europe both lent active support to the opposition forces against the HDZ and so brought together parties that were, at least ostensibly, at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

 International Crisis Group - Turning Strife to Advantage: A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The current attempts by the leadership of the Croat Democratic Union (HDZ) of Bosnia and Herzegovina to secede from the legal and constitutional structures of the state are the most serious challenge yet to the post-war order established by the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords.
The HDZ expected the OHR to react by removing several high-ranking HDZ officials, in particular the party’s president, Ante Jelavic, from their public and political positions.
If the international community reverts to form and backs down from a long-term struggle, as the HDZ expects, the extremists will maintain their grip on the Croat community and continue to block the development of a stable, democratic state.

ecently held congress of the HDZ /Croat/ party in Bosnia is discussed by Drazena Peranic in the May 24, 1998 issue of the Srajevo weekly Svijet.
This even more so, because the stories about fractional conflicts within BiH HDZ, reflecting themselves, supposedly, through gh a pro Bosnian and extreme Herzegovinian stream, are mostly constructed in Sarajevo cabinets so that the eight year long coalition of the leading Bosniak party with those Herzegovinians dividing Bosnia could be justified.
This due to the fact, that in all eight years of existence of the BiH HDZ no political autonomy of this party has been noted, concerning the nation, religion, state, which were the declared postulates of the formation of this national political movement.

The HDZ is insisting that it's changed the xenophobic platform it pursued under its founder, the autocratic Franjo Tudjman.
Peter Galbraith says the return of the HDZ to power also should not be taken as a sign that there's a resurgence of unhealthy nationalistic sentiment in Croatia.

 CER | Bosnia: HDZ wants to end boycott
The Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) leadership announced Thursday that it had put together a negotiating team for talks with local authorities and the international community on ending its nearly six-month boycott of government institutions.
The crisis has been brewing since the nationalist HDZ started using Croats' fears of marginalization (they are a much smaller ethnic group than Muslims or Serbs) to consolidate the party's hold on power in areas of Hercegovina and central Bosnia.
She said the continuation of dialogue depended on what the HDZ wants and in what way the party contacts the OHR.
