NORWEGIAN DELEGATION VISITS KNIN

( Editorial: --> 9481 ) ZAGREB, March 13 (Hina) - A delegation of the Norwegian parliament and Helsinki Committee, headed by Erik Solheim, visited Knin on Friday. The delegation met with Knin mayor Josip Odak and discussed with him the status of the Serb community and the work of the Municipal Committee for Trust Establishment. Mayor Odak said that the security of all citizens was satisfactory but the economic situation was difficult. "The situation is additionally aggravated by the lack of understanding from the international community, because we deal here with a three-way, not a two-way return, and one should have understanding for that," said Odak. The three-way return includes the return of Croat and Serb refugees from Croatia and Croat refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina. Between 12,000 and 15,000 people lived in Knin, said Odak adding he wanted to be the mayor of all Knin residents, regardless of their national and religious background.
