ZAGREB, March 22 (Hina) - A parliamentary deputy of the Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), Ratko Gajica, has said that the renaming of streets in Plaski, some 50 kilometres south of Karlovac, is legitimate, but that the party leadership will talk to SDSS councillors in the Municipal Council of Plaski about the possibility of revoking the decision, which he says must not be made in haste.

"They are sensible people, I am confident that we will find the best possible solution," Gajica told reporters in the parliament.

The SDSS majority in the Municipal Council of Plaski on Monday renamed a dozen streets bearing the names of Homeland War military units and Croatian cultural and historical figures.

Gajica said he could understand the motive for the decision, adding that it was "a response to the unnatural changing of the names of streets and settlements in the 1990s".

He explained that this referred to the change of names of streets and settlements related to the Serb tradition in settlements with a vast Serb majority.

He recalled that streets and squares in the southern village of Kistanje, with a majority Serb population, bore names from the tradition of Kosovo Croats who were settled in the village.

"This is a form of violence against objective historical facts, against the will of domicile residents, but that does not mean that street names can be changed by force," said Gajica, who believes that the decision of the Plaski authorities is premature.

"The Serb community in Croatia has much more important problems to deal with in cooperation with the government and other state institutions, and society as a whole," he said.
