NO REASON FOR HOUSING COMMISSIONS NOT TO BEGIN WORK - OSCE, UNHCR

( Editorial: --> 6087 ) ZAGREB, Aug 26 (Hina) - The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) continues to express concern over the absence of further instructions and information necessary for local bodies in charge of implementing the programme for the return of refugees. This is especially true for the work of housing commissions, UNHCR spokesman, Andrej Mahecic, said in Zagreb on Wednesday. "We are aware that August is a time for vacations, but we expect us to hold a meeting with Croatian government representatives as soon as possible. The UNHCR reiterates its readiness to help the government, on a local and national level, to enable the programme for the return to be implemented as efficiently as possible, Mahecic said. Spokesman for the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) mission in Croatia, Mark Thompson, stressed that, despite the fact that certain housing commissions had not received working instructions, there was no reason for them not to begin functioning, especially in gathering documentation from previous housing commissions and evaluating the property they had managed. Mahecic announced that another 34 Serbs would return to Croatia from the FR Yugoslavia on Thursday, in line with the programme of voluntary return. A total of 10,639 persons have by August 23 requested to return to Croatia, in line with the Croatian government programme for the return and accommodation of refugees. So far, 2,697 requests have been answered positively, Mahecic said. Speaking about the media coverage of next month's general elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Thompson said Croatia was one of the signatories to the Dayton Agreement, so Croatian media must follow the codes of conduct for media and reporters. These codes are important for the implementation of free and fair elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina, according to the Temporary Electoral Commission which was established in line with the Dayton Agreement. Spokeswoman for the UN civilian police in the Croatian Danube River region, Kirsten Haupt, said the number of incidents in the past week had somewhat decreased in comparison to the week before. A total of 39 incidents have been registered, out of which 17 were ethnically-based, and 22 concerning the issue of tenants rights. (hina) lml 261626 MET aug 98
