REBEL SERBS WON'T HAVE CRO ANTIFASCISTS VISITING JASENOVAC

ZAGREB, Apr 14 (Hina) - UN forces have turned down the request of the Croatian Association of Antifascist Veterans to visit the Jasenovac concentration camp site on April 20. The UN headquarters today informed the Veterans that UN was "unable to organise such a visit because Knin Serb authorities found unacceptable a sentence in the Veterans' letter." "The sentence, saying that '85,000 people of various nationalities had been killed in the Ustasha-run Jasenovac camp during World War II' was interpreted as an attempt to deny the real extent of Ustasha crimes," the statement said. The Association of Antifascist Veterans had applied to the UN also on behalf of a kindred Slovenian organisation and the Zagreb Jewish Community. The list of people to visit Jasenovac mainly included former camp inmates and families of killed inmates. (hina) mm as 141924 MET apr 95
