PINETA REFUGEES ACCEPT TO INSPECT ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION

NOVIGRAD, Apr 14 (Hina) - Refugees accommodated at the Pineta seaside resort are still refusing to move out, said spokesman for the government office for refugees Josip Esterajher. The refugees were to vacate the resort, which is owned by Slovene firms, on April 15. However, the tension seems to have eased a little as two people went off a hunger strike and refugees accepted to view alternative accommodation in Borozija (near Umag), Kamenjak (near Pula) and Fazana Forest, said Esterajher. He went on to say that the Office was going to talk with the firms involved and try to put off the deadline. 141737 MET apr 94
