GOVT TO RECONSIDER DECISION ON DISPLACED PERSONS' EVICTION FROM HOTELS

ZAGREB, May 18 (Hina) - Following additional information the Government will consider whether its decision on eviction of displaced persons from hotels can be fully implemented or whether it should be changed, said a Croatian Deputy Prime Minister, Zeljka Antunovic, after her meeting with representatives of displaced Vukovar citizens. On Thursday they staged a peaceful rally in front of the offices of the Government and the national parliament, protesting against the order that they have to leave hotels where they are given free lodgings. Antunovic informed the Government that at the meeting with Vukovarans their objections were accepted about the impermissible bureaucratic attitude towards those displaced people. On behalf of the Government I promised that their destinies must be solved individually rather than treating them as cases on the paper. Their problems should be settled in a humane manner an individually," Antunovic told the Government that held a session today. She added that representatives of displaced people had accepted a decision that people whose houses or flats were reconstructed should leave hotels immediately. It was agreed that within seven days relevant institutions should provide exact data on the way and number of people who can now have lodgings. There is information that displaced persons, now accommodated in hotels, can be moved into other lodgings, she said and in this context she mentioned empty flats in the eastern Croatian town of Vukovar. It was decided that 30 June should be the deadline for the Government to implement a decision on the permanent accommodation for displaced persons who are now living in hotels, Antunovic concluded.
