ZAGREB, Nov 27 (Hina) - Members of the Croatian House of
Representatives at Wednesday's session posed a number of questions
to the members of the Croatian government headed by Prime Minister
Zlatko Matesa. #L#
Boris Kandare (Croatian Party of Rights, HSP) asked about the
reliability of the information that the UN Transitional
Administrator General Jacques Klein took part in the celebration
organized by local Serbs in the UNTAES-administered area to "mark
the so-called liberation of Vukovar".
Deputy premiers Ivica Kostovic and Mate Granic stressed that,
by special arrangement of General Klein and the Croatian
government, no celebration had been organized in Vukovar on 18
November.
"According to all information, General Klein prevented those
who wanted to organize the celebrations," Granic said.
"There was no manifestation where UNTAES would participate,"
Kostovic said, stressing that the fact that several busses from
Serbia and Republika Srpska had arrived and that local Serbs had
not worked but visited cemeteries on that day could possibly be
called a manifestation.
Asked by Milan Djukic (Serb Peoples' Party, SNS) when the
Development and Reconstruction Ministry would make an assessment of
war damages, especially on houses belonging to Serbs in Lika,
Reconstruction Minister Jure Radic said that county commissions
made the assessments and that every location would have its turn,
according to an established order.
Ante Djapic (HSP) asked whether it was true that the Croatian
government was financing the so-called Serb Radio Vukovar.
"We are not financing the Serb Radio Vukovar," Matesa said.
Kostovic stressed that he had received no proof of the fact.
Asked by Marko Veselica (Croatian Christian Democratic Union,
HKDU) how many Croatian banks had been connected with the Trieste
Bank which went into bankruptcy, Prime Minister Matesa said that
there were 29 such banks, private ones, and that for that, Croatia
would not set aside even one kuna from the state budget.
