ZAGREB, Feb 10 (Hina) - Croatian Vice Premier Ivica Kostovic and the deputy head of the Government Office for Displaced Persons and Refugees, Boris Cepin, today informed representatives of the Union of Hungarians in Croatia, their committee for displaced persons, and member of Parliament Ferenc Farag of the Government's strategy to return displaced people to occupied territories. Croatia's priority was the return of all displaced people to all the currently occupied areas, Kostovic said. Representatives of the Hungarian minority expressed full support for the peaceful reintegration of occupied territories and all Government decisions which would lead to the return of displaced people. An estimated 9,000 Hungarians were expelled from the occupied territories. The Hungarian Ambassador to Croatia, Gabor Bagi, who was also present at today's meeting, said that Hungary would look after all displaced people accommodated in Hungary until their safe return was organised.
