HDZ Chief Secretary Ivan Jarnjak says his party is for resolving open issues through talks

'Croatia had one problem with its all aggressors, in the end they, not Croatia, turn out to have been victims, HDZ Chief Secretary Ivan Jarnjak said at the press conference. He stressed that HDZ is against opening of issues related to agreements that were signed long time ago.

To a journalist's question on his opinion on cooling of relations between Italy and Croatia and statements by Mesic and Napolitano, Ivan Jarnjak answered that all the problems with neighbouring countries should be resolved through a talk.

When asked if war crimes committed by partisans and mass murders are going to be processed, Jarnjak said it is business of State Prosecutor's Office.

In the meantime, the diplomatic war between the two countries goes on, while presidents of the two countries, Mesic and Napolitano have been hurling accusations at each other for inappropriate statements and acts.
