ZUBAK ON EXPULSION OF CROATS FROM BUGOJNO

SARAJEVO/MOSTAR, Oct 6 (Hina) - Moslem-Croat Federation President Kresimir Zubak today warned that human rights of Croats in Bugojno (which is controlled by Moslems), central Bosnia, had been seriously violated. Zubak demanded that Bosnian authorities should prevent expulsions and maltreating of the Croat population. Pressures have frequently been exerted on the remaining Croats in Bugojno, said Zubak in a statement. Militant groups expel the Croatian population from their homes, intimidate them and beat them up, while the local authorities do not even try to stop those misdeeds. Zubak said that the authorities called all Moslems, expelled from Banja Luka and Bijeljina, to accommodate in Bugojno. He reminded that the fate of 26 Croats taken away from Bugojno prisons was still unknown and said that in the meantime 2,000 Croats had been expelled. Zubak said that those acts looked like ethnic cleansing of Croats. (hina) jas ks 062135 MET oct 94
