SARINIC'S LETTER TO UN SPECIAL ENVOY AKASHI

ZAGREB, Nov 1 (Hina) - Head of the Croatian President's office and head of the Croatian Commission for relations with UNPROFOR, Hrvoje Sarinic, today sent an open letter to UN special envoy Yasushi Akashi. Sarinic reminded in the letter on joint efforts made towards the organization of displaced people's visit to cemeteries on All Saints' Day which failed because the Knin authorities did not allow the visit. Sarinic said that UNPROFOR once again had showed its powerlessness and that the lack of sense won. Sarinic said that more should be done in order that the UN secretary-general could inform the UN Security Council on 20 January that there were some progress in the process of the normalization of relations in Croatia, and not just to conclude once again that UNPROFOR was powerless. Sarinic said at the end of his letter that he expressed pain and dissatisfaction on behalf of all those who only wanted to pay honours to their dearest, lay flowers and light candles on their graves, but they could not do it only because some people identified civilization achievements with achievements made by arms, and the international community did not find a way to oppose it.
