CRO PRRESIDENTIAL ADVISOR DENOUNCES INCIDENT IN DERVENTA

( Editorial: --> 9144 ) ZAGREB, April 24 (Hina) - Displaced Croats from Derventa left for Mass into that town in the Serb entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina based on the approval from Republika Srpska authorities on 16 April. "However, nobody met us at the border crossing into Republika Srpska, not international representatives, nor representatives of Republika Srpska," Croatian President's Advisor, Slobodan Lang, told the Croatian Television Thursday night. In the Bosanski Brod municipality there had been police, but on the direct 'border' between Bosanski Brod and Derventa, there were a group of protesters expressing hatred and intolerance. Lang said the international community was not capable to organise such events, and called on General Jacques Klein and Republika Srpska representatives to prove themselves at a 'repeated exam' on 25 April, when Republika Srpska should be able to show it was capable of complying with basic norms it is obliged with, and the international community to know how to be determined in securing the safety of all people.
