140 CROATIAN SERBS RETURN TO SISAK-MOSLAVINA

( Editorial: --> 9547 ) SISAK, Sept 10 (Hina) - One hundred and forty Croatian Serb refugees arrived in Croatia's Sisak-Moslavina County from Yugoslavia. This is the largest group of Serb returnees to arrive to their Croatian homes since the start of the implementation of the Croatian government's refugee return programme. The 140 Serbs arrived into Croatia under the organisation of the Government Office for Refugees and Displaced Persons and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Representatives of the regional refugees' office and of the Coordination Centre of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) greeted the returnees and accompanied them to their homes. Since the Croatian military and police operation "Storm" in the summer of 1995, around 7,300 Serb refugees have returned to their homes from the Croatian Danube River region, Yugoslavia and the Bosnian Serb entity of Republika Srpska.
