ZAGREB, Oct 11 (Hina) - The remains of a Croatian patriot, Bruno Ante Busic, who was killed by the Yugoslav service in Paris in 1978, were transported to Croatia on Monday. The remains of the great fighter for Croatia's independence were welcomed by senior state officials, former political prisoners, relatives, and friends. Also present were members of a Croatian National Sabor's delegation, an envoy of the Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, Andjelko Mijatovic, vice president of the Croatian National Sabor Drazen Budisa, Justice Minister Zvonimir Separovic, and family members who were present during the exhumation from the Paris cemetery of Pere Lachaise. The present paid tribute to Busic by laying 39 white roses on his coffin, because Busic was 39 when he was killed. The coffin was covered with a Croatian flag and was taken to the Zagreb central cemetery of Mirogoj. The coffin will be exhibited in the Croatian Academy of Arts and Science on October 15. The remains of Bruno Ante Busic will be buried on October 16, exactly 21 years after he was murdered. The funeral ceremony will be conducted by military ordinary Juraj Jezerinac.
