Borovo has enough money to do that, Linic said during parliamentary
question time.
On another subject, Prime Minister Ivica Racan said a bill would be
drawn up to sell state-owned flats in formerly war-struck eastern
Croatia under special conditions.
Miroslav Rozic of the Croatian Party of Rights said 10,000 flats
remained to be purchased in that area, including 6,000 in the town
of Vukovar.
Local residents seek to be enabled to purchase flats under the same
conditions that citizens elsewhere in Croatia had, said Rozic,
recalling that the peaceful reintegration of the area and the
return of people to pre-war homes began on January 15, 1998, three
months after the deadline for the purchase of state-owned flats had
expired.
On another matter, Foreign Minister Tonino Picula did not
explicitly say why Croatian flags were removed from Prevlaka, the
peninsula bordering with Montenegro, and who ordered the removal.
In response to a question from the Croatian Bloc's Zdravka Busic, he
said Croatia's jurisdiction over the southern peninsula was
regulated through a temporary protocol and the hoisting of flags
through the law on the national flag and coat of arms.
Croatia's flag on Prevlaka is on the exact spot envisaged by the law
-- the Konfin border crossing -- and it will be hoisted on special
occasions, said Picula.
