A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON TUESDAY

ZAGREB, May 15 (Hina) - Today's VJESNIK covers yesterday's ceremonial parliamentary session commemorating the Bleiburg victims. "It is necessary to clear the Bleiburg reality of the clogs of history which could seduce us into losing ourselves on emotional, national-romantic trips and long-dead illusions," Croatian Parliament Speaker Nedjeljko Mihanovic said in his speech, carried by the paper. A commentary by Mirko Galic, headlined "Neither Withdrawing Nor Staying On Unconditionally," deals with the UN peace-keeping mission in Bosnia. Today's VECERNJI LIST discusses how the western Slavonia action and the rocketing of Zagreb might affect the tourist season, in an article headlined "Tourists Attracted by Peace." The paper carries an interview with US congressman Ed Royce, headlined "CIA Testifies on War Crimes." "Everyone except western governments understood who was the aggressor right at the beginning. Statements avoided the word 'genocide' and babbled about 'civil war.' As I said, the CIA report puts an end to it. I fully support the War-Crimes Tribunal and I oppose any offers of amnesty to the Serb regime leaders. The perpetrators of war crimes cannot be turned into peace-makers by a United Nations decree," Royce said. (hina) mm as 161214 MET may 95
