VUKOVAR MAYOR CONDEMNS DISTURBANCE OF PUBLIC ORDER & PEACE

( Editorial: --> 2052 ) VUKOVAR, Feb 15 (Hina) - The mayor of Vukovar and president of the Municipal Committee for the Establishment of Trust, Vladimir Stengl, on Sunday condemned disturbance of public order and peace by the members of a rally of the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP), which took place in Vukovar on Saturday. Stengl also warned of other inappropriate ways of behaviour such as the display of Serb flags contrary to legal regulations and forcible removal of plaques with the name Vukovar. "We believe that such acts are not well-meant. Vukovar needs peace, order and work in order to regain the status it deserves," Stengl said in a statement. "The overall reconstruction of Vukovar, which also includes the establishment of trust, cannot tolerate disturbance of public order and peace the way it happened on 14 February in the Croatian Vukovar. I believe that all parties should abide by that equally," Stengl said. (hina) rm 151122 MET feb 98
