The president of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), Jadranka Kosor, has said she could not comment on the decision of the HDZ High Court of Honor to allow Jerko Rosin, who has been expelled two months ago, to return to the party, until she sees the explanation of the decision, stressing she did not order that Rosin be expunged from the party.
Commenting on Rosin's statement to the press that he did not have proof but that he was confident that Kosor had ordered that he be expelled from the party because of his friendship with former prime minister Ivo Sanader, Kosor said Rosin was lying. "I can say that Rosin is lying because I did not order that he be expunged," Kosor told the press in parliament.
Asked if a member of the executive committee of the HDZ Remete branch, Vid Tezak, should be held responsible, as he admitted he had invited Ivic Pasalic to a meeting of the branch, Kosor said that according to the principle of subsidiarity, this decision would be made by a regional committee and upheld by the HDZ Zagreb City Committee. "To me, it is important that irregularities have been pointed out and that the meeting will held again," Kosor said.
Kosor said Pasalic could not return to the HDZ as he was expunged by decision of the HDZ High Court of Honor.
