NATIONAL TRUST ESTABLISHMENT COMMITTEE HOLDS SESSION

VUKOVAR, May 22 (Hina) - Cooperation of the National Trust Establishment Committee with local bodies of authority and the engagement of all Committee members on gathering information about mass graves would significantly influence the improvement of relations in the field, which would primarily have effect on the people in areas where victims are being exhumed from mass graves, and people there had been killed, the Committee president Vesna Skare-Ozbolt said at the Committee session in the eastern Croatian town of Vukovar on Saturday. Despite the process achieved in the course of peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danube River region, there remain problems which need to be solved. These problems are of psychological nature, and of economic nature, which is tied to reconstruction, the opening of job opportunities and return of refugees and displaced persons, Skare-Ozbolt said. Croatian deputy premier Vladimir Seks, who attended the session, expressed hope all participants in the peaceful reintegration process and establishment of trust in the Danubian area would have political maturity and understanding so problems could be overcome as soon as possible. Member of the Trust Establishment Committee and president of the Independent Democratic Serb Party, Vojislav Stanimirovic, stressed it would be good if a Serb representative could be included in the work of the Government Commission for Missing and Imprisoned Persons, so he could, in talks with locals of Serb nationality, help in gathering information abut mass graves. Croatian Assistant Interior Minister Josko Moric said the security situation in the Danube region was stable, and the police were doing their job correctly and in accordance with the Law. (hina) lml
