BELGRADE, Nov 24 (Hina) - The Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) has

It is in every democratic government's interest to create
conditions favouring the return of refugees, Tosic told Beta news
agency, adding that in the past refugee return was obstructed a lot
on both the local and "the medium level". He voiced hoped Croatia's
new authorities would "have room to eliminate those
obstructions".
According to Serbia-Montenegro data, about 196,000 refugees from
Croatia are staying there while about 70,000 have returned to pre-
war homes. Croatia says some 100,000 have come back.
