GOVT COMMISSIONER FOR KNIN MEETS TRANSITIONAL ADMINISTRATOR KLEIN

KNIN, 29 Nov (Hina) - Croatian government commissioner for Knin Zvonimir Puljic met with the U.N. Transitional Administrator in eastern Slavonia, General Jacques Klein, on Friday. The meeting focused on the course of peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danubian area and ways the process reflected on the situation in the Knin area. #L# Some six billion kunas would have to be invested in the reconstruction of the Croatian Danubian area, Klein said, adding that Zagreb would host a conference of donors on 6 December. The most difficult problem in the process of peaceful reintegration were cultural and economic differences between displaced Croats and Serbs living in the occupied Croatian areas. Belgrade can do nothing for the Serbs living in the Croatian Danubian area and their future is in Croatia, Klein said. Klein also visited Pakrac, western Slavonia, and thanked local authorities for support during the process of peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danubian area. (hina) rm 292143 MET nov 96
