ZAGREB, Sept 26 (Hina) - Representatives of the Croatian war
veterans' associations have requested that the new bill regulating
war veterans' rights be passed with a consensus and that
parliamentary deputies vote about it individually.
The War Veterans' Ministry and Homeland War associations must
forward a better and more just bill on veterans' rights to the
government, the associations told reporters in Zagreb on
Wednesday.
Speaking on behalf of a body coordinating the associations,
Tomislav Mercep said the best solution would be improving the
current law because the new bill envisaged drastic cuts in
veterans' rights.
"Croatian Homeland War volunteers, as those who deserve most credit
for Croatia's defence and international recognition, must have
certain rights, and this is guaranteed by the parliamentary
Declaration on the Homeland War," Mercep said adding he hoped the
veterans' associations would succeed in establishing dialogue with
the authorities.
