OSIJEK, Feb 8 (Hina) - OSCE High Commissioner for national
minorities Max van der Stoel and his colleagues visited Osijek on
Thursday. #L#
They were received by the Osijek County Prefect, Branimir
Glavas, and head of the Government Office in charge of temporary
administration for establishing Croatian authority in eastern
Slavonia, Baranja and western Srijem, Ivica Vrkic.
The participants in the talks had agreed that a very important
part of the Transitional Administration's preparations for the
establishment of Croatian authorities in the area was the relation
"towards national minorities in the unoccupied as well as in
temporarily occupied parts of the Croatian Danubian area," said
Vrkic.
"Under the Constitution and its laws, Croatia will treat
equally all citizens who respect the Republic of Croatia," Vrkic
added.
