CROATIAN HOMELAND WAR VETERANS PROTEST AGAINST MEDIA TREATMENT

( Editorial: --> 4472 ) ZAGREB, June 29 (Hina) - The Homeland War and victims of the aggression must not be forgotten, seven veterans' and victims' associations gathered as the Homeland War Associations' Union said in Zagreb on Monday. We are protesting about the public ignoring of the Homeland War and the most valuable parts of it, Croatian soldiers, they said at the second public conference on the exhumation, identification and burials of Croatian soldiers and civilians at Vukovar's New cemetery. The conferences began in Vukovar and will be continued in Pula (northern Adriatic). The Homeland War Associations' Union initiated the conferences as they were dissatisfied about the way Croatian media, especially the Croatian Television (HTV), covered the burials at the New Cemetery. Deputy president of the Croatian National Parliament, Jadranka Kosor, expressed support for the Homeland War victims. (hina) lml as 291818 MET jun 98
