SKEGRO: MY WORDS ON CALL FOR GROUND TROOPS MISINTERPRETED

LONDON, April 17 (Hina) - Croatia's Finance Minister Borislav Skegro said in London on Friday he had not called on anybody to dispatch ground troops to Kosovo, after some news agency claimed he had called for ground troops to be put into that war-affected area. Skegro explained that he had just expressed his personal opinion that a form of the presence of international forces in Kosovo could be necessary, if there is an objective to return ethnic Albanians to their homes. Skegro said that while taking part in an economic conference in London, he was asked how the Kosovo crisis might end. I replied that I was not a military expert and neither could I say how it might finish. By hinting at a solution which enabled refugees to come back to eastern Slavonia, I said, however, that the best solution would be probably to enable refugees to return, under the protection of international forces, Skegro told Hin

Skegro said that while taking part in an economic conference in London, he was asked how the Kosovo crisis might end.

By hinting at a solution which enabled refugees to come back to eastern Slavonia, I said, however, that the best solution would be probably to enable refugees to return, under the protection of international forces, Skegro told Hina. Eastern Slavonia (a part of Croatia) was overrun in 1991 by the then Serb-led Yugoslav People's Army and Serb paramilitaries, but it was successfully reintegrated into Croatia last year after it was under the UN control for several years. Skegro added that it would be wrong to understand that he called on anybody to deploy ground troops in Kosovo and stressed he had no authority for something like that. Bulgaria's Vice Premier Alexander Boskov, who also attended the London conference, spoke of the economic damage done to his country due to the conflict in the Balkans. In that context, questions about the situation in the region were raised, Skegro explained. (hina) jn ms
