Although HDZ is the strongest party in Croatia, party president Ivo Sanader has launched negotiations with right and centre-right opposition parties -- the HSLS, former foreign minister Mate Granic's Democratic Centre and the Croatian Rights Party, run by orthodox nationalist Anto Dapic -- about a possible right-wing coalition.
Iako je HDZ najjača stranka u Hrvatskoj, predsednik partije Ivo Sanader pokrenuo je pregovore sa opozicionim strankama desnice i desnog centra -- HSLS-om, Demokratskim centrom bivšeg ministra inostranih poslova Mate Granića i Hrvatskom strankom prava, koju predvodi ortodoksni nacionalista Anto Dapić -- o mogućoj koaliciji desnog krila.
