CROATIAN REFUGEES BLOCK U.N. HEADQUARTERS IN ZAGREB

ZAGREB, July 14 (Hina) - Refugees are gathering outside the UN headquarters in Zagreb on Thursday morning to protest againt the inefficiency of the UNPROFOR mission in Croatia. The peaceful rally is organized by the Refugees' Association of Zagreb County. Head of the Refugees' Association Julije Skeledic told Hina the refugees were not blocking the UNPROFOR personnel, but only their vehicles. "They can move freely, they can leave and enter their base as they please," he said and added that the protest aimed to remind UNPROFOR that it should implement the UN Security Council resolutions. The special adviser of the Croatian president, Slobodan Lang, visited the refugees and expressed full support for their demands, emphasizing that the right to home was one of the fundamental human rights. Last year refugees built a brick wall round the UNPROFOR headquarters bearing inscribed names of several thousand killed and missing people. This morning the refugees lit candles by the wall and prayed for the return of their loved ones. 141059 MET jul 94
