ZAGREB, Feb 8 (Hina) - Croatia's National Trust Establishment
Committee chairwoman Vesna Skare-Ozbolt on Monday received a
United Nations special rapporteur for human rights on the territory
of the former Yugoslav federation, Yiriy Dienstbier.
According to a statement from the Croatian President's Office, the
two officials discussed human rights in Croatia, especially those
of minorities.
Speaking about the situation in eastern Croatia, Skare-Ozbolt, who
is also the Croatian President's advisor for political issues, said
there are no inter-ethnic incidents.
The Croats' return to the region was slow due to the generally
unfavourable economic situation in the region, she said, adding
this was also the reason why local Serbs were leaving to other
countries, not necessarily to Yugoslavia.
Assistant Interior Minister and Skare-Ozbolt's National Committee
deputy, Josko Moric, who was also present at the talks, said the
security situation in eastern Croatia was of a very high level.
There are no incidents between Serb and Croat returnees in that
area, he added.
