ZAGREB, Dec 26 (Hina) - The Croatian Foreign Ministry on Thursday
issued a statement noting that it was appalled at the monstrous
murder of three members of a Croat returnee family in Kostajnica
near Konjic in Herzegovina, which occurred on Christmas Eve. #L#
"Such a grave crime before the Catholic Christmas, the holiday of
peace and joy, provokes unwanted associations and certainly does
not contribute to a generally accepted and publicly proclaimed goal
- the return of refugees and displaced people to their homes in
Bosnia-Herzegovina," reads the statement.
The ministry expects competent bodies to bring to justice and
adequately punish as soon as possible the perpetrators of the
mindless crime, so that all doubts could be removed and
coexistence, mutual trust and tolerance could be restored in the
village where the crime occurred and in the whole country, the
statement noted.
