MOSTAR CROATS DEMAND CARRYING OUT OF RETURN AGREEMENT

( Editorial: --> 7049 ) MOSTAR, May 27 (Hina) - Mostar's Bosniak (Muslim) mayor Safet Orucevic and his Croat deputy Ivan Prskalo held talks with local and international officials on Wednesday about implementing an agreement on the return of displaced people to the southern Bosnia- Herzegovina city. The talks included the heads of Mostar's six municipalities and representatives from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Office of the international High Representative (OHR). According to a statement from Prskalo's office, it was said the return had started but was not two-way, because the return of Croats to the Mostar suburb of Bijelo Polje had not begun as had been foreseen under the agreement. Prskalo demanded that in accordance with the signed agreement, 120 Croat homes in Bijelo Polje, located within the Bosniak-majority North municipality, be emptied so that the houses could be reconstructed and displaced people returned to them.
