MINISTER ELABORATES DENATIONALIZATION BILL

ZAGREB, Feb 13 (Hina) - The Croatian Sabor (parliament) Upper House continued its session Tuesday discussing a series of bills on denationalization. "Our guiding principle was only not to commit new injustices while correcting old ones," said Justice Minister Miroslav Separovic commenting on the government-proposed Bill on compensation for expropriated property. He elaborated that the proposal envisioned two forms of the compensations: stock bonds or shares in the Croatian Privatization Fund and the certificates of the Croatian Compensation Fund. The bill stipulated that the right on compensation would be entitled only to the Croatian citizens who were first successors in title. Any attempt to expand the heirs would significantly increase the amount the state would be obliged to pay, he said. (Hina) jn bk 131304 MET feb 96
