BOSANSKA POSAVINA DISPLACED PERSONS DISSATISFIED WITH STATUS

ZAGREB, Nov 28 (Hina) - The Association of exiled Croats from Bosanska Posavina (north Bosnia) requested of the Croatian and Bosnian leadership to approach international factors more uniformly and decisively when dealing with the principles of the Dayton Agreement such as the sustenance of Bosnia-Herzegovina's integrity, the freedom of movement, return to homes and others. #L# The Association's president, Mate Gogic, told Thursday's news conference in Zagreb that not one basic provision of the Dayton Agreement had been implemented, except putting and end to armed conflicts. Gogic especially warned that the right to the freedom of movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina was being ignored, and added that the Association had requested four times this year that Bosanska Posavina displaced persons be allowed to visit cemeteries under Serb control, which had not been granted to them once. "We cannot even think about returning to our homes, which is a sign that the Dayton Agreement was actually sounding a death knell of Bosnia-Herzegovina," Gogic said. The Association informed reporters about the initiation and work of the Committee for Political and Territorial Integrity of Bosanska Posavina which had forwarded a memorandum containing several hundreds of signatures to several dozens of addresses of western political and cultural organizations, expecting written support from them. The Bosanska Posavina displaced persons also told reporters about their difficult status in Croatia, especially of those privately accommodated, and called on the Croatian government to ameliorate their living conditions. Only 194 families, out of a total of 410, had returned to the Odzak municipality in Bosanska Posavina, thanks to reconstruction carried out exclusively by individuals, they said.
