Rehak recalled than about 8,000 people had been detained in Serb
concentration camps during the 1990s war, with detention ranging from
a couple of days to several years. Those people were tortured and
maltreated and need help to be able to lead normal lives, he said.
Rehak added that the victims of the concentration camps would
persevere with the damages claims they filed with courts in Serbia and
Montenegro and would, if necessary, seek justice before international
courts.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for the Family, War Veterans
Affairs and Inter-Generational Solidarity Jadranka Kosor said the
government would support the former inmates in their damages claims,
and that as a minister she would support every initiative their
society launched.
Kosor said the new law on the rights of war veterans and their
families, which is being drawn up, would cover concentration camp
victims too.
The electoral assembly was also addressed by presidential advisor Igor
Dekanic, and representatives of political parties, local authorities
and Homeland War associations.
