CROATIA'S DISPLACED PEOPLE FEEL INSECURE, NEGLECTED

ZAGREB, Feb 1 (Hina) - Representatives of the Association of Displaced Persons, led by Mato Simic, today held talks in the Croatian Parliament with Opposition representatives, headed by Social Liberal party leader Drazen Budisa. Displaced people informed Opposition deputies of their problems and called for unity when passing legislation concerning the living conditions and return of refugees. Simic said displaced people's fundamental problems included insecure accommodation, a low-quality diet, insufficient humanitarian aid and unemployment. He added that displaced people had been overlooked in the privatization process. Simic warned of their concerns about more refugee centres being built because they did not want to live in ghettoes. Displaced people's representatives said their fundamental human rights were diminished. They stressed there was a lack of motivation among the displaced to return to their homes particularly as young people were losing all hope of ever returning and were leaving for other countries.
