STATEMENT BY CROATIAN HELSINKI COMMITTEE

ZAGREB, July 3 (Hina) - The Croatian Helsinki Committee on Human Rights (HHO) said in a statement on Sunday that it received the matter on the eviction of Stipe Mesic from rooms of the Croatian Parliament's Speaker and Josip Manolic from rooms of Speaker of Parliament's House of Counties. The HHO also said that this morning Parliament's guard halted Stipe Mesic in the vestibule of the building of Parliament and after delivering the order on the eviction, which had been carried out without Mesic's presence, they did not allow him to enter the building. The same thing happened to Josip Manolic. Newly appointed secretary of Parliament Mihovil Klapsic gave an order on the eviction written on a piece of paper without the seal and ordered the guard not to allow Mesic and Manolic to enter their rooms, said HHO in the statement signed by its head Ivan Zvonimir Cicak. 031936 MET jul 94
