ZAGREB, July 15 (Hina) - At today's session with representatives of political parties the Croatian Helsinki Committee (HHO) presented the current situation as regards human rights in Croatia, emphasizing the problem of the evictions against the law.

The members of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), and Croatian Farmers Party (HSS) had been invited to today's meeting, but they declined to come. After several-hour-long discussion the participants made several conclusions according to which they "condemn attempts to politically instrumentalize the problems of flats, and insist on the strict respect of the equality of all citizens." The participants in today's session called on the Croatian government to declare a moratorium on evictions from the disputable flats. 151814 MET jul 94
