But when about 300 Croat children showed up with their parents on 1 September to enroll in the Muslim-majority school in the northern town of Novi Seher, they were met by local members of the nationalist Croat Democratic Union (HDZ), who told them to take their children to a Croat-majority school in a neighbouring municipality.
Međutim, kada se prvog septembra oko 300 hrvatske dece zajedno sa roditeljima pojavilo na upišu u većinski muslimanskoj školi u gradu Novi Seher, na severu Bosne, naišli su na lokalne predstavnike Hrvatske demokratske zajednice (HDZ) koji su im rekli da svoju decu odvedu u većinski hrvatsku školu u susednoj opštini.
