ARTICLE 11 COMMISSION MEETS WITH CROATIAN POLITICAL PARTIES

( Editorial: --> 2504 ) ZAGREB, May 8 (Hina) - Representatives of the Article 11 Commission had talks with representatives of major political parties in Croatia, in the US Embassy in Zagreb on Friday, about the document by which the Croatian Government has established its procedure for return of Serb refugees. Following the meeting, which discussed the document "Procedure for Individual Return of Persons Who Left the Republic of Croatia", the Article 11 Commission released the following communiqué which states: "As pointed out in our communiqué of April 29th, we are disappointed that the return procedures worked out after long consultations between representatives of the international community and the Government of Croatia were substantially and negatively changed by the Government of Croatia. We do not advocate a "massive overnight" return; however, we consider it essential that the Government of Croatia establish mechanisms that allow those who wish to do so to return home and reclaim their property. In view of the serious consequences that this will have for Croatia's relationship with the international community, we felt it important to meet with the major political parties of Croatia to present to them our views as to how this happened and why the international community is prepared to react strongly. We also raised our concerns about the proposed legislation to rescind certain property laws. We informed the political party representatives of our decision to suspend indefinitely participation by the international community in the proposed "Conference on Reconstruction and Development in the Republic of Croatia", and we noted that other strong measures are under consideration. We have urged the Government of Croatia to adopt and implement procedures that guarantee fully the right to return and reclaim property. We note that Foreign Minister Granic has committed us that the Government of Croatia will adopt new, improved procedures that address our concerns. We look forward to the implementation of this commitment. When there are matters of serious concern to the international community, it is healthy and natural to have a dialogue not only with the Government of Croatia but with all the major political forces in the country. We hope that this meeting will be the first in such a process, and we look forward to future dialogue on matters of shared concern." (hina) as mrb/jfk 081737 MET may 98
