VUKOVAR DEFENCE TO GATHER SUNDAY VUKOVAR, Sept 22 (Hina) - The surviving soldiers who defended Vukovar and the families of those killed and missing will gather at the Vukovar stadium on September 23 to mark the 10th anniversary of the
formation of the Croatian army's 204th Vukovar Brigade. Around 600 204th Brigade members were killed in 1991 during the Serb attack on the city, while 457 are missing. At a Vukovar press conference Sunday, Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) president Anto Djapic labelled the gathering "harmful and ill-advised" because "it could further drive apart the already divided war veterans." Vukovar-Srijem County representatives of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the Croatian Christian Democratic Union (HKDU) also called on the veterans not to attend the Sunday commemoration.
