SARAJEVO, Oct 17 (Hina) - The Bosna Srebrena Franciscan province
organised a conference of commissions for justice, peace and
ecology of Europe's Franciscan provinces in Sarajevo from October
12 to 16, the province office said in a statement Sunday.
Franciscan General Management Secretary-General of the Commission
for Justice, Peace and Ecology, Francisco O'Conair and heads of
commissions from Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and
Croatia discussed problems of refugees in Europe, in accordance
with conclusions of the General Capitul held in Aziz last year.
Discussed were also issued of emigrants and asylum seekers in
European countries, as well as the possibilities of Franciscans to
contribute to the values of social justice and peace.
Participants of the conference were acquainted with the problems of
repatriation of refugees to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
President of Bosanska Posavina Refugees' Association Ivo
Krizanovic suggested that problems of return begin to be solved by
applying a model of districts or the introduction of an
international protectorate.
The participants concluded that in order to strengthen the
cooperation among European Franciscans, a meeting of those who are
directly working in services for the return of refugees would take
place soon, and the issue should be discussed at the world congress
of the Commission for Justice, Peace and Ecology in Germany in the
year 2000.
