BiH’s two largest Croat-majority parties, HDZ 1990 and HDZ BiH, have announced an end to their coalition “at all levels of government.” The HDZ 1990 released a statement on Friday announcing the split.
“We call on all other political organisations that are ready, on democratic principles, to build new relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina which would assure equal rights to all peoples and citizens [to join us],” the statement said.
The split came after HDZ1990 representatives were dismissed from the government of Canton Ten in west Herzegovina by their HDZBiH partners.
The country’s largest Serb-led parties have also recently ended their coalition, and the leading Bosniak parties broke ties several months ago. Both HDZ parties remain in the BiH-level government, and it is likely their respective ministers will remain in place.
