( Editorial: --> 1510 ) VUKOVAR, Feb 12 (Hina)- Today in Vukovar the associations of victims of the patriotic war and the mayor of Vukovar Vladimir Stengl discussed the forthcoming exhumation at the new Vukovar cemetery and a location where the exhumed bodies could be buried.

The representatives asked for the postponement of the exhumation, until all the preparations for the construction of a new cemetery have been finished. The associations represented at the meeting were The Mothers of Vukovar, The Association of the Former Prisoners of the Serb Concentration Camps, The Association of Croat Defenders Vukovar 91, The Association of the Widows of the Homeland War from Vukovar and Vukovar branch of the Croatian Association of Disabled Veterans.
