After an introductory speech by association president Danijel Rehak, conclusions from yesterday's session of the association's steering board were read out. The body supported the activity of other Homeland War associations with regard to the adoption of a law on war veterans, and demanded that the law include a provision guaranteeing rights to former inmates of Serb concentration camps.
The association continues to collect materials on Serb crimes in a bid to file a lawsuit against Serbia and Montenegro. Members of the association who addressed the meeting said they would insist on the lawsuit, which would also include requests for the payment of damages.
In his opening speech, the association's president, Danijel Rehak, said that Croatia must not forget any of its soldiers and that it should do all it can to protect Homeland War values.
The participants were also addressed by Ivan Grujic of the War Veterans Ministry, who said that 7,000 of 18,000 persons listed as missing in Croatia had gone through Serb prisons.
We keep finding former camp inmates, but unfortunately on graveyards in Yugoslavia, he said.
