CROAT RETURNEE CHILDREN IN VARES STILL NOT ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL

VARES, Sept 14 (Hina) - About 230 children of Croat returnees to the central Bosnian town of Vares are for the second week not going to school because the local canton authorities have closed down the Croat school. President of the Bosnian Federation, Ivo Andric Luzanski talked with municipal head Pavo Vidovic about the problem Tuesday. Following the talks, Luzanski said he and the Bosnian Federation deputy minister of education, Simun Musa, would speak to representatives of the international community so that the issue of schooling in Vares and other municipalities could be resolved to the satisfaction of both Croats and Bosniaks (Moslems). "Everybody in Bosnia-Herzegovina must respect the fact that two equal peoples (Croats and Bosniaks) live in the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, that there are two education curricula and schedules and that everybody is free to choose their own curriculum and schedule," Luzanski said. Until adequate facilities are provided, the 230 children in Vares will take classes in the Caritas building in Vares as of next Monday. (hina) lml jn
