CROAT DISPLACED SEND PROTEST LETTER TO GOVERNMENT

SPLIT, 3 March (Hina) - The Croat displaced from the Croatian Danubian area, currently accommodated in the Split County, on Monday sent a letter to the Croatian government, protesting over the 'minimizing of war crimes in the Croatian Danubian area'. The Croat displaced hold that the number of war criminals is much higher that the one presented on a list made by the Croatian government. They demanded from the government to fully respect international law in defining the term war crime. The displaced called on all Serbs who arrived in the Danubian area from other parts of Croatia, to vote at 13 April elections for the bodies of representation in the towns they had come from, and not for those in the Croatian Danubian area. It is of utmost importance that the displaced take part in the elections, the displaced said at today's press conference. (hina) rm jn 031733 MET mar 97
