VUKOVAR MOTHERS ADDRESS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

ZAGREB, Dec 6 (Hina) - "Vukovar Mothers" representative Katica Majic this afternoon addresed the House of Representatives. She said 1,228 citizens of Vukovar, nearly half of the nation's missing persons quota, were either prisoners in Serb jails or unaccounted for. She expressed disappointment at the "hypocrisy and indifference" of international institutions where the prisoners' family members had taken their problem. She said Friday's economic agreement with Knin Serbs contained no provision dealing with the problem of missing persons and prisoners. Speaker Nedjeljko Mihanovic then read a letter that the Opposition leaders sent him this morning. The letter demanded that the economic agreement with Knin Serbs and the situation in the occupied areas be "urgently" addressed in Parliament. He said he did not agree with the views expressed in the letter but would put it on the agenda as soon as the Government concocted a report on the issues mentioned in it. 061812 MET dec 94
