CROATIA'S DISPLACED INVITE U.N. CHIEF TO THEIR CONFERENCE

OSIJEK, April 6 (Hina) - The head of the Croatian Association of Displaced Persons, Mato Simic, today invited the UN Security Council Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, to attend the 3rd conference of the Association which is to be held on April 8 in Zagreb. Simic said in his letter to Boutros-Ghali that the Association was established due to the United Nation's ineffectiveness. There were 197,000 displaced persons in Croatia and about 100,000 in foreign countries, while 2,820 persons were still missing, Simic said. He reminded Boutros-Ghali that despite the UN presence, 600 people had been killed and about 12.000 people had been expelled from the UN-protected areas. Displaced persons expected that operational mechanisms of UN Security Council resolution 981 would not repeat the mistake of prolonging the 'status quo' in Croatia, Simic said.
