Speaking at tonight's session of the Administrative Board,
Povreslo said that the village of Celije had been devastated and
that some villages in Baranja were neglected.
The board also agreed to ask from the UN Transitional
Administrator Jacques Klein to secure visits to cemeteries in those
villages which had not been visited on All Saints' Day.
The President of the Croatian Association of Displaced People,
Mato Simic, said that the displaced were not completely satisfied
with the visit, adding, however, that certain results had been
achieved and that they should not be neglected.
