COMMENTS BY MIHANOVIC, VUKOJEVIC AFTER MEETING PRESIDENT TUDJMAN

ZAGREB, May 13 (Hina) - Croatian Parliament Speaker Nedjeljko Mihanovic and Member of Parliament Vice Vukojevic talked to reporters after a reception at the Presidential Palace, where a group of participants in a scientific conference on the Bleiburg massacre in 1945 met President Tudjman last night. "Since the subject has long been shrouded in a veil of secrecy, it is very important that the problem be addressed by a scientific panel," said Mihanovic, who doubles as the chairman of the parliamentary commitee on the marking of the 50th anniversary of the Bleiburg victims. "We do not want to repeat an absurdity like the exaggeration of the number of the Jasenovac victims - we want to arrive at the truth, through the cooperation of people who came from all over the world and presented their essays from different angles," he said. Committee member Vice Vukojevoc said President Tudjman had supported the panel's work. After the closing debate this afternoon, about three hundred participants are to leave for Bleiburg and lay a wreath on a monument to the victims tomorrow morning, Vukojevic said. He announced a ceremonial session of the Croatian Parliament for 11:00 Monday. (hina) as 131129 MET may 95
