SUBJECT: BOSNIA- HDZ-1990 PARTY CONGRESS CALLS FOR "ETHNIC 
FEDERALISM" 
 
REF: A. SARAJEVO 2057 
     B. SARAJOEVO 2415 
 
1. (SBU) Summary. On November 10 in Mostar, the Croatian 
Democratic Union 1990 (HDZ-1990) held its first party 
congress since its founding in April 2006.  Delegates 
re-elected the senior party leadership, including Chairman 
Bozo Ljubic and Deputy Chairman Martin Raguz.  The 
participation of Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader 
illustrates the intensity of the ongoing competition for the 
Bosnian Croat diaspora vote in Croatian parliamentary 
elections.  Sanader expressed his strong support for Ljubic 
and also took the opportunity to campaign for HDZ-Croatia in 
the upcoming Croatian elections.  Ljubic also unveiled a 
proposal for constitutional reform which built on the Bosnian 
Croat Kresevo Declaration but constituted a more explicit 
call for the creation of ethnically-based federal units in 
Bosnia. End Summary. 
 
Ljubic's speech 
--------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Chairman Bozo Ljubic opened the inaugural HDZ-1990 
congress with a speech focusing on the party's main 
accomplishments since its founding in April 2006.  Ljubic 
emphasized the key role the party had played in blocking the 
April 2006 package of constitutional reforms noting it was 
part of a larger commitment to protect and defend Croat 
interests in Bosnia.  Ljubic said that the Federation was 
becoming increasingly dominated by Bosniak interests, and 
that future reforms must provide greater protections for 
Bosnian Croats.  Ljubic also devoted significant time to the 
current political crisis, stating, as he did at the September 
session of the Peace Implementation Council, that its real 
cause was not the Lajcak measures.  Ljubic voiced HDZ 1990's 
support for the High Representative and his use of the Bonn 
Powers, and said that both should remain in place until 
Bosnia has a new and functional constitution in place. 
 
Sanader 
------- 
 
3.  (SBU)  Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader also had a 
prominent speaking role at the convention.  Sanader predicted 
that HDZ-Croatia will remain in power after the November 25 
elections and Bosnian Croats can continue to count on the 
party's support.  He emphasized that the current political 
crisis must be resolved separately from the resolution of 
Kosovo's status.  Sanader expressed support for the High 
Representative and his use of the Bonn Powers, but stressed 
that long-term change can only be achieved through consensus 
among all three constituent peoples with the support of the 
United States and EU.  Sanader also urged HDZ-1990 and 
HDZ-BiH to bridge their differences. He stressed, however, 
Croatia will not exert any pressure to achieve a 
reunification of the two Bosnian HDZs.  Sanader also used the 
opportunity to campaign for his party and attack his domestic 
political opponents, particularly SDP-Croatia. 
 
HDZ 1990's Constitutional View 
------------------------------ 
 
4. (SBU)  Bozo Ljubic also unveiled HDZ-1990 proposals for a 
constitutional reform package.  Building on the Kresevo 
Declaration from September (ref A), the HDZ-1990 proposal 
seeks to enhance Croat influence at the federal and local 
levels of government through "ethnically-based institutions." 
 The HDZ-1990 plan would create at least three 
ethnically-based federal units.  The state-level government 
would have clearly defined competencies limited to 
establishing a state capable of Euro-Atlantic integration. 
Under the HDZ-1990 proposal, the Prime Minister, President, 
Parliament Speaker) would be divided among the ethnic groups 
and national groups in the House of Peoples would retain veto 
power.  All competencies not strictly granted to the state 
government would be handled by entity or local governments. 
HDZ 1990 also announced its support for incorporating the 
ethnic divisions and protections existing at the state-level 
into the federal units. 
 
Comment 
------- 
 
 
5. (SBU) The HDZ 1990 constitutional proposal takes one step 
closer to an open call for the  establishment of a third, 
Croat, entity.   Nonetheless, Ljubic and Raguz were clearly 
mindful of managing public opinion and scrupulously avoided 
explicit references to such an entity.  Instead, HDZ 1990 
used its congress to paint a picture of Bosnian Croat 
electorate that is prepared to cooperate with the 
international community in supporting the Lajcak measures and 
eventual EU membership for Bosnia.  Although Sanader 
successfully convinced both Bosnian HDZ's to join his 
diaspora candidate list for Croatian parliamentary elections, 
this has not translated into any realistic prospect that the 
two parties will reunite in the near future.  End comment.
