SERB POLITICAL PARTY DESCRIBES CROATIA'S U.N. DECISION UNILATERAL

ZAGREB, Jan 13 (Hina) - The Serb National Party (SNS) in Croatia today described a decision to end the UNPROFOR mandate as a "unilalteral" move which would encourage a war option and the departure from a peaceful resolution of the Serb issue in Croatia. The SNS hoped the Security Council would decide through its powers to keep UNPROFOR in the region, SNS leader Milan Djukic told a Zagreb press conference. The SNS today issued a "proclamation to the Serb people in Croatia and to all citizens of Croatia" calling on the Croatian government and Serb representatives from the UN-protected areas to "immediately sign an agreement on the peaceful settlement of the political crisis." The SNS also called on Croatian authorities to recognize the Serb people as a political subject and to join efforts to find a compromise solution. The SNS called on the Serb people in Croatia to be reasonable and to respect the right of the Croatian people to have their state. (hina) mm vm sd 131559 MET jan 95
