Hrvatski demokratski savez Slavonije i Baranje , short: HDSSB (German: Croatian Democratic Alliance of Slavonia and Baranjas) is a right-wing conservative party in the Croatian region of Slavonia .
history
The founding initiative came from the politician Branimir Glavaš , one of the former members of the Croatian party Hrvatska demokratska zajednica (HDZ) (in German: Croatian Democratic Community ) after he left the HDZ because of his conflict with the chairman of the HDZ and the prime minister, Ivo Sanader , regarding the "Viktor Lenac Affair" and the distribution of funds has been excluded from the state budget. Glavaš was not satisfied with the development program for Slavonia . He called for more investment in the region's economy. After separating from the HDZ, he wanted to found a party that would campaign for these goals. He immediately began his campaign, which was successful in Slavonia. In the meantime, Glavaš was charged with war crimes during the war in Yugoslavia. He has been charged with murdering Serb civilians in Osijek in 1991. After the parliament lifted his parliamentary immunity, he was taken into custody. Glavaš described the proceedings against him as politically motivated.
On October 8, 2005, the founding congress of the HDSSB took place in the Croatian National Theater in Osijek . More than 850 participants were present at the congress. Branimir Glavaš, a member of the Croatian Parliament and one of the founders of the party, was elected as the first chairman of the newly formed party and the party's statute was adopted. The HDSSB was officially registered as a party on May 6, 2006.

Work of the party

The HDSSB had three representatives in the Croatian parliament from 2007 to 2011: Branimir Glavaš, Ivan Drmić and Vladimir Šišljagić . Since the parliamentary elections in 2011, the parliamentary group has consisted of seven members. The president of the HDSSB group is Josip Salapić .

Coalitions
The HDSSB formed a coalition with the Croatian Right Party (Hrvatska stranka prava, HSP) after the local elections in Osijek in 2005. Thanks to this coalition, Anto Đapić , the HSP chairman, was elected Mayor of Osijek. Branimir Glavaš has been elected chairman of the city council. After two years, this coalition broke up. The two parties got into a conflict over the construction of the handball hall for the handball world championship, which was to take place in Croatia in 2009. The representatives of these two parties could not agree on the financing of the construction. In September 2007, Đapić offered to resign. Then the HDSSB formed a coalition with the Croatian Pensioners' Party (Hrvatska stranka umirovljenika, HSU) and the Croatian Social-Liberal Party (Hrvatska socijalno-liberalna stranka, HSLS). The new mayor was Zlatko Benašić , a member of the HSLS.
