"The Croatian Government is looking into a way of resolving this
painful problem," Sanader told reporters in Strasbourg where he was
attending a regular session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe.
Three members of the Zec family were killed in Zagreb at the beginning
of the war in the early 1990s, and the perpetrators were not brought
to court due to a procedural error although they admitted their guilt.
The surviving members have demanded an out-of-court settlement with
the State.
The Nacional weekly said in its latest issue on Tuesday that Sanader
wanted the State to agree to a settlement for moral reasons.
On the subject of the Law Banning Work on Sunday, which went into
force at the beginning of the year, Sanader said that the Government
would respect a decision of the Constitutional Court, which meets on
Wednesday to discuss a proposal to revoke the provisions prohibiting
work on Sunday.
Asked about the visa regime with Serbia and Montenegro, Sanader said
that the Government was willing to extend the visa-free regime due to
expire at the end of June, but that "Belgrade should ratify the
agreement on readmission of persons".
