Croatian Democratic Assembly of Slavonija and Baranja
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Croatian Democratic Assembly of Slavonia and Baranja (Croatian: Hrvatski demokratski sabor Slavonije i Baranje, HDSSB) is a regionalist political party in Croatian region of Slavonia.
It was formally founded on May 6th 2006, but had its origins one year earlier, when the group of local Croatian Democratic Union politicians, led by controversial Branimir Glavaš, launched political organisation with the same name at the eve of May 2005 local elections. The stated aim of new group was regional reorganisation of Croatia in order to improve conditions in Slavonia, which was - according to Glavaš and his supporters - neglected by central government in Zagreb.
HDZ leadership under Ivo Sanader denounced that platform and ejected Glavaš out of party. However, most of local HDZ organisation followed Glavaš and his independent election ticket that won relative majority in Osijek-Baranja County and City of Osijek assemblies.
President of the party is Krešimir Bubalo.
