AMNESTY ACT
ZAGREB, 31 May (Hina) - The Serb National Party (SNS) on Friday
filed a lawsuit to Croatia's Constitutional Court against an
amnesty law for perpetrators of criminal acts from the temporary
occupied areas in Vukovar and Osijek Counties. The SNS holds that
the act discriminates against Serb refugees who took part in the
armed rebellion against Croatia but fled the country before the
Croatian military action 'Storm'. #L#
'The act does not cover all areas which took part in the
rebellion, and it is partial because it applies to the territory
which is to be peacefully reintegrated but not to the areas which
have already been reintegrated militarily', SNS President Milan
Djukic said. He added that the law violated the principle of all
people being equal before the law.
