ZAGREB, Nov 23 (Hina) - Serb People's Party (SNS) leader Milan Djukic has said that the meeting between Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader and his Serbian-Montenegrin counterpart in Belgrade last week and the agreement on the protection of national minorities that was signed on that occasion, are not historic.

Speaking at a press conference in Zagreb on Tuesday, Djukic said that the meeting and the agreement were nothing but "an artificial bilateral ornament" because "neither side withdrew accusations of collective responsibility" for the 1991-1995 war.

Djukic insisted that reciprocal visits between the two countries were the result of expectations of the European Union, which wants the neighbouring countries to improve cooperation.

"Full protection of minority identity will be achieved only after it becomes a product of the will of politicians and people in either country," he stressed.

The SNS leader went on to say that a small percentage of property had been given back to the Serb minority this year and that 42 per cent of Serbs had lost their tenancy rights in Croatia.

Commenting on two incidents that occurred in Zagreb last weekend, when two students from Belgrade took photographs of themselves while holding a photograph of Serbian WW2 Chetnik Movement leader and war criminal Draza Mihajlovic, and the burning of a van belonging to a Serbian swimming club, Djukic said that they "reflected the political environment" and that they showed that confidence between the two nations should be built step by step.

"We must find a way of integrating the Serbs into Croatian society," Djukic said, stressing that his party was opposed to any form of ghettoisation of the Serb community in Croatia.
