ZAGREB, May 28 (Hina) - Croatian Prime Minister on Monday forward a
message to Croatian citizens ahead of the country's Statehood Day,
to be marked May 30.
Racan expressed gratitude to all victims of the Homeland Defence
War.
"We are celebrating the tenth anniversary of the constitution of
the Croatian parliament whose representatives were elected at free
and democratic elections. The transfer of the authority, despite
ominous announcements, was implemented in peace and with dignity.
When it seemed that Croatia would start a normal process of internal
metamorphosis and join the world community of democratic
countries, the Greater Serbian imperialistic invasion forced the
country to engage in a defence war for its survival. Today we
remember all the Homeland Defence War victims with grief and sorrow
who we thank on their unselfish sacrifice for our Homeland and we
dedicate this day to them", read Racan's message.
Croatia today is facing the period of economic, social and moral
depression, but the country is entering remission. The signs of
recovery are clear, Racan said, expressing hope that the next Day of
Croatia's Statehood would be celebrated in a happier and wealthier
atmosphere.
