WHERE WILL CROAT STUDENTS GO TO SCHOOL IN BUGOJNO B-H

BUGOJNO, Aug 26 (Hina) - "The International community and High Representative for B-H (OHR) have had enough talk, the school year is about to start and a solution must be found", said Claude Kiffer of the OHR at a meeting in Bugojno on Thursday. The meeting was organised to decide on premises for a school offering lessons in Croatian to be established as the school is currently operating in the parish presbytery. County prefect for Central Bosnia County for education, culture and sport Miro Jovic advised of the chronology of the school to date during its exile when children of all three nationalities sat together until the Bosnian-Croat conflict broke out in 1993 and Moslem children withdrew. Jovic added that municipal authorities are obliged to find premises for Croat children because Croats too participated in the construction of schools. "The international community donated 1,760,000 German marks of which 760K was to be for schools of minority communities. The Croats in Bugojno however, did not receive not one mark", Jovic said. The principle of the elementary school Stipe Saric said "if the problem of premises is not resolved, we will bring the children in front of the municipal offices until it is". The meeting was not attended by Bosnian officials with the excuse that they were not advised of the meeting on time and that they considered the parish presbytery and inappropriate forum for such a discussion.
