A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON THURSDAY

ZAGREB, Jan 25 (Hina) - Today's Zagreb-based daily of Vjesnik devotes a comment piece to the BBC's documentary "Death of Yugoslavia", which has drawn much attention after beginning of its broadcasting at the Croatian state television last Thursday. "The authors of the serial initiated their observation from the fact that Yugoslavia was legitimate. But they neglected its peoples' right to refuse dictate. Many facts were thus lightly passed over and one may get an impression they would even justify the military intervention," the comment piece says. Another comment piece analyzes Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic's resignation -- which seemed to be welcomed among the Bosnian Croat officials, because it was precisely Silajdzic, the paper says, who had caused the failure of the Mostar city setup on Tuesday. Another Zagreb-based daily of Vecernji List, too, carries a similar comment on Silajdzic's resignation, under headline "Federation's Brakeman Leaves". The paper carries an interview with Major General Zivko Budimir who speaks of the shape of the future Bosnian federal army. In Croatia, the announced demobilization of the armed forces would inevitably cause employment difficulties as well as the problem of soldiers' adaptation to civilian life conditions. This is the issue of the paper's main story under headline "After War -- the Battle for Work". (Hina) mm bk 251212 MET jan 96
