A BRIEF LOOK AT TODAY'S PRESS IN CROATIA

ZAGREB, Sept 7 (Hina) - The cancellation of the Pope's visit to Sarajevo is the leading front-page story in today's issue of the Zagreb daily, VJESNIK. The article also gives full details of the final preparations for the Pope's visit to Zagreb. An article headlined "Education Crippled" covers the mass school teachers' strike, involving kindergartens, primary and secondary schools. A comment piece titled "Why Aren't the Wheels of the Federation Moving?" says, in part: "It is obvious that Sarajevo prefers Croats who are willing to bow to force, rather than those brandishing sabres - the Federation cannot survive witout satisfying both types." Today's issue carries a story about the western-Bosnian refugee drama at the Turanj checkpoint. The article says a refugee delegation is to visit Velika Kladusa today, to assess whether it's safe enough for them to return to that western-Bosnian town. Another comment piece, by Vlado Rajic, speculates about the forthcoming Government reshuffle. VECERNJI LIST lead front-page story is headlined "Government and Teacher Unions Refuse to Budge." "The strike seems to be weakening, at least at kindergarten levels," the story says. "Red Carreerist and Destitute Teachers," is the title of a comment piece by Milan Ivkosic, in a scathing attack on Union leader Vesna Kanizaj. The paper also announces the beginning of a three-day vigil ahead of the Pope's visit. The paper's editor-in-chief, Branko Tudjen, answers his own question in an article titled "Where Has Izetbegovic Gone Wrong." VECERNJI LIST also carries an interview with the President of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kresimir Zubak. "The problem is that we haven't established a government hierarchy, but the Federation will survive anyway" Zubak said. (hina) jn as sd 071428 MET sep 94
