ZAGREB, Sept 3 (Hina) - The parents of soldiers killed in the early 1990s Homeland Defence War object to changes of the status of killed soldiers and the reduced entitlements of their families. On Sept. 1, the presidency of the
HZUPBDR, a union of associations of killed soldiers' families, debated the draft of a government social policy for this and next year, and the draft of the new bill on the entitlements of war veterans and their families. A statement issued after the session said the attempt to change the status of killed soldiers was "entirely unacceptable and inhumane." As for the new government policy of social restrictions, the union said it was contrary to a Homeland Defence War declaration the parliament adopted last year. The declaration recognises "full protection, dignity, honour and respect" to the killed soldiers' families, the statement said.(hina) ha sb
