The refugee crisis lasted too long and it was not only
Croatia's problem but also a problem both the European and world
community had to deal with, Rehn said during her meeting with
refugees. It seemed that Croatia was trying to solve the
difficulties of the Kupljensko refugees, Rehn told the refugees,
adding she would meet with Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic in
Zagreb tonight and discuss the problem with him.
Rehn also visited Velika Kladusa, where she met with the
officials of Velika Kladusa municipality and Bihac Canton and
visited some of the families who had returned from Kupljensko to
Velika Kladusa.
