SARAJEVO ARCHBISHOP PROTESTS OVER VIOLENCE

SARAJEVO, May 12 (Hina) - The Bosnian Archbishop, cardinal Vinko Puljic, protested today against the violence over civilians. The protest was provoked by the latest Serb offensive in Sava river valley in northern Bosnia. In the statement, forwarded to Hina this evening, Puljic recalled that over 120,000 Croats had lived in the area, while all of them were in exile now, which itself pointed at the dreadful consequences of Serb aggression. "I expect all relevant political figures, here and abroad, to take all measures they can in order to prevent the violence over innocent civilians, and ensure their basic human rights, including the right to home and homeland." cardinal Puljic said in the statement.
