FOREIGN MINISTER GRANIC RECEIVES ICRC DELEGATION

ZAGREB, Sep 5 (Hina) - Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic received today a delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) led by head of the Committee for the former Yugoslavia Andreas Kuhn, said the Foreign Ministry. The talks focused on the humanitarian situation in the region, especially on the continuation of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia- Herzegovina which has been carried out by the Serb party, and on refugees from western Bosnia who are stranded in the occupied Croatian area. Minister Granic reiterated that Croatia would help the refugees as much as it could, but it had no means to accept new refugees. The Minister stressed that a solution to the problem was the return of the refugees to their homes. (hina) ks 051705 MET sep 94
