U.N. HUMAN RIGHTS ENVOY MEETS CROATIAN OMBUDSMAN

ZAGREB, Nov 20 (Hina) - The largest number of complaints about human rights violations in Croatia come from the newly-liberated areas and they are related to citizenship, looting and harassment, UN human rights rapporteur Elisabeth Rehn said in Zagreb on Wednesday. I am still rather concerned about the situation in former UN Sectors South and North, where most of the complaints have come from, Rehn told reporters after meeting Croatian ombudsman Ante Klaric. Rehn said she handed over the complaints to Klaric for further processing, noting that in her report to the UN she had emphasized excellent cooperation with Croatian authorities and institutions. On Thursday Rehn was scheduled to meet Deputy Prime Minister Ljerka Mintas-Hodak and Justice Minister Miroslav Separovic. (hina) vm mm 202007 MET nov 96
