ZAGREB COUNTY WAR VOLUNTEERS DEMAND APOLOGY FROM RACAN ZAGREB, April 22 (Hina) - The Association of Croatian Homeland War Volunteers 1990-1991 (UHDDR) of the City of Zagreb and Zagreb County has requested Prime Minister Ivica Racan to
apologise for his statements about last Wednesday's protest meeting of Homeland War associations in Gospic. The association believes the Prime Minister has with his statements equated Croatian soldiers, volunteers, and the widows, parents and children of killed soldiers, as well as Homeland War invalids and Gospic residents with "the Serb-Chetnik hordes which plundered Croatia before the Homeland War." "This comparison has deeply hurt and embittered volunteers, and, we believe, the majority of the Croat people," the association said in a statement signed by its president Nikola Lekic.(hina) rml
