MISSING BUGOJNO CROATS' FAMILIES MEET TOWN'S MAYOR

BUGOJNO, Oct 10 (Hina) - Family representatives of missing Bugojno Croats on Friday held talks with the mayor of Bugojno, Dzevad Mlaco. They requested information about the whereabouts of 21 missing Croats, as Mlaco had been the war-time president of Bugojno in 1993, at the time the Croats went missing. They were taken in an unknown direction by Bosniak troops in the period between 25 September and 25 November from the "Stadion" concentration camp in Bugojno, where they were being held. Mlaco said that the Bugojno military command from 1993 had to know about where they had been taken, and pledged to personally engage himself for the issue to be solved as soon as possible and that the truth be found about the whereabouts of the 21 Croats. Present at the meeting were also representatives of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). (hina) lm jn 101957 MET oct 97
