Serb
party to stay in Croat government
March 26, 2008 11:34 AM
ZAGREB, Croatia-A party of ethnic Serbs in Croatia says it has decided
to stay in the government despite the government's recognition of Kosovo,
which has been strongly opposed by Serbia.
The party has participated in Prime Minister Ivo Sanader's coalition
government since elections last November. One of its members is a deputy
premier, the highest position to be held by an ethnic Serb here since the
1991-5 Serbo-Croat war.
Croatia recognized Kosovo's independence last week, prompting the Serb
party to consider pulling out of the government. But its leader, Vojislav
Stanimirovic, is saying Wednesday that the party will stay, because any
other decision could harm the position of Serbs in Croatia.
