Croatian People's Party (HNS) leader Radimir Cacic said in an interview with the public television network HTV on Tuesday evening that he would withdraw from politics if he should be sentenced to an unconditional prison term for causing a fatal traffic accident in Hungary last year.

When asked what he would do if a Hungarian court found him guilty, Cacic said: "In case I am given an unconditional sentence, I will withdraw."

Cacic said he was not formally charged.

Cacic caused a traffic accident on the M7 motorway in Hungary on January 8, 2010 in which two people were fatally injured.
