CROATIAN AMBASSADOR TO UN COMMENTS ON RECENT GHALI'S REPORT

NEW YORK, Dec 3 (Hina) - On the occasion of today's report of the UN Secretary General to the Security Council Pursuant to Security Council Resolution 871 (1993) Croatian Ambassador to UN released a Statement saying among other things: "The Republic of Croatia is entitled to raise again the issue of UNPROFOR's presence on the territory of the Republic of Croatia as early as now. (...) Every intensifying of the Croatian Govt.'s attitude in this moment would contradict President Tudjman's Peace Initiative, which is akin to the Action Plan of the European Union and the recent decisions of the CSCE Ministers' meeting that are positive for Croatia." "In the coming period one of the basic footholds of the political activities of Croatia will be the conclusion of the CSCE meeting in Rome, which states that the territories of the Republic of Croatia under UNPROFOR's mandate should be peacefully reintegrated into the political and legal system of Croatia. The most recent report by UN Secretary General should be judged through the prism of that statement," Nobilo Concludes. 032126 MET dec 93
