FAMILIES OF MISSING AND DETAINED PERSONS REQUEST TRUTH

OSIJEK, March 22 (Hina) - Mothers and relatives of missing and detained Croatian soldiers have on Friday, in the central Osijek square, gathered several thousand signatures, with which people supported a request that the truth be found out about the whereabouts of missing and detained persons. The president of the Association of relatives of missing and detained Croatian soldiers, Stefica Krstic, had visited her house in the occupied Baranja, accompanied by six other displaced women, several days ago. She said that the visit had given hope to displaced persons that they would return to their homes. It had also given hope to those searching for their missing loved ones, that the truth would be found "no matter what the truth is," said Krstic. (hina) lm jn 221644 MET mar 96
