(SNS) Milan Djukic at Thursday's news conference cited SNS's views

rights were not respected. #L#
Laws in Croatia were being passed which were in opposition to
the Constitution and duties which Croatia had taken on from the
international community in order to be admitted into the Council of
Europe, Djukic said.
He cited the Amnesty Act which concerned persons who had
committed war crimes in the Vukovar and Osijek counties and the Act
on Areas of Special Government Care.
Djukic pointed out that stealing in the newly liberated areas
was continuing, especially in the Petrinja and Donji Lapac
counties.
He also cited examples of recent maltreating of citizens of
Serb nationality by four members of the Croatian army in the Donji
Lapac County.
The vice-president of the SNS Nedjeljko Visnjic expressed
dissatisfaction with the work of the head of the Yugoslav Bureau in
Croatia Veljko Knezevic, saying that he had not done enough to
"protect the identity of the Serb ethnic community in Croatia".
