CRO GOVT: THERE IS ONLY ONE LIST OF WAR CRIMES SUSPECTS, WHICH WAS

WAS $ DELIVERED TO KLEIN ZAGREB, Feb 27 (Hina) - The Croatian Government, on Thursday denied rumours that a new and very long list of persons from the Croatian Danubian area, suspected of war crimes, had appeared. At today's session, the Croatian Government denied absolutely the existence of such a document. During the visit of General Jacques Klein to Croatian President Franjo Tudjman on February 17 this year, a list of 175 war crimes suspects was delivered to Gen. Klein. The Croatian Government again emphasizes that it is the only list, the government public relations office said in the statement. It is clear that such rumours are a new attempt to stir up anxiety among the local population in order to slow down or even halt the process of peaceful reintegration, and thus to sabotage the forthcoming elections in the Croatian Danubian area. Therefore, the Croatian Government reiterates that there will be no new list of war crimes suspects, the statement said in the end. (hina) jn mš 271549 MET feb 97
