ZAGREB, Sept 8 (Hina) - Croatian border police stationed at the
Bregana border crossing in the period between September 1 and 7
prevented the illegal crossing of 24 adults and 13 children, all
ethnic Albanians were citizens of the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (FRY).
The Albanians came from the Kosovo region and travelled through the
FRY and Bosnia to enter Croatia with stolen falsified Croatian
passports, Zagreb police spokesman Josip Begovic said on Tuesday.
A large number of the passports were invalid because they had been
reported stolen by their owners. The passports had been falsified
with a photo of the refugee persons simply stuck in them along with
the details of the true owners.
The Kosovo Albanians have been taken into custody and remanded to
appear before the Magistrate's Court in Samobor near Zagreb, where
they were sentenced for illegally crossing the border and
overcoming protective measures enforced to prohibit their entry
into the Republic of Croatia.
An investigation is to be held with regard to the falsification of
the passports.
