CRO GOVT TO PRESS CHARGES IN HAGUE AGAINST YU FOR AGGRESSION

ZAGREB, July 1 (Hina) - At the closed part of a Thursday session chaired by Premier Zlatko Matesa, the Croatian government assessed as completed proceedings which gathered data on the genocide and material damage Croatia suffered during the aggression committed earlier this decade by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). In line with that, the government reached a decision to press charges against FRY, i.e. its two republics, Serbia and Montenegro, for aggression against Croatia, before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague. In line with an agreement reached with the Croatian Farmers' Association on Wednesday, the government reached a decision on the payment of debts to contract farmers in the sugar factory in Virovitica. The decision obligates company COSUN to settle its US$9.45 million debt to contract farmers within a fortnight of signing an agreement with the Croatian Privatisation Fund. Also adopted was a decree on the internal organisation of the Ministry of Reconstruction, Development, and Immigration, with two new administration departments, for emigration and for supporting immigration.
