DESTRUCTION OF CATHOLIC CHURCH IN BUGOJNO IS NEW CRIME AGAINST CRO

CRO $ AT PEOPLE - ZUBAK MOSTAR, July 27 (Hina) - On occasion of the destruction of a Catholic church in Bugojno, the Office of the president of the Bosnian Federation Kresimir Zubak on Saturday issued a statement which said that Zubak described the destroying of the St. Ante church in Bugojno as a new crime against the Croat people, Bosnian Croat news agency Habena said. #L# "The destruction of the church in Bugojno is a new crime in a line of crimes against the Croat people. It was again done under the control of the authority which shows itself to the world as democratic, which supposedly wants a multi-ethnic and multi- cultural society, however, in actual fact, it does not sanction, but inspires exile, desecration and murder of the weak and old, in a perfidious and underhand way," the statement said. "Numerous crimes in Bugojno are the consequence of the lack of effect of the international community. Instead of establishing authority in Bugojno in line with the Constitution and law, representatives of the international community help and enable the continuation of foul play in this town with their so-called resolutions, and they offer electoral fraud in Mostar instead of law and the Constitution. However, despite the crime, pressure and injustice, the Croat people will not waver and get discouraged, nor will they lose their national dignity as some want them to," the statement said.
