INDEPENDENT MP SUGGESTS "DEFINITE CONFIDENCE RESTORING MOVE"

OSIJEK, April 7 (Hina) - Independent Member of the Croatian Parliament, Ivica Vrkic, today put forward a new suggestion for the peaceful reintegration of Croatia's occupied areas. In an open letter to Foreign Minister Mate Granic, Vrkic proposed that "a group of displaced Croats and a group of Serbs currently settled in Baranja simultaneously return to their former villages," - the Croats to Baranja and the Serbs to western Slavonia. "This would be a real confidence restoring move by the Croatian government," Vrkic emphasised. Only persons "wanted for war crimes by Croatian courts", should be excluded from the process, he specified. (Hina) mm bk 071858 MET apr 95
