MOSTAR, June 27 (Hina) - The Croat member of Bosnia-Herzegovina's
three-man Presidency, Ante Jelavic, harshly condemned the
demolition in the Catholic chapel in Modran, Derventa (northern
Bosnian area under Serb control) on Sunday night.
Jelavic insisted on a resolute investigation of local authorities
in order to establish perpetrators of that act.
According to a statement released by Jelavic's office, this has
been yet another attack against Croat returnees to parts of the Sava
valley ('Bosanska Posavina) that are included in the Republic of
Srpska (Bosnian Serb entity) under the Dayton accords.
"Only in Modran this has been the 20th attack, in a less than one
year, against Croat returnees, their property or (their) Catholic
religious facilities," the statement read and underlined that this
represented a threat for the fragile process of the return which has
just started in Bosanska Posavina.
Jelavic called on authorities in the Republic of Srpska, the
International Police Task Force (IPTF) and the NATO-led
Stabilisation Force (SFOR) to spare no efforts to guarantee safety
and security to returnees.
