of the houses.#L#
Croatian soldiers living in areas of special state interest have been
receiving court orders for eviction, without being offered alternative
accommodation or compensation for the money they invested in the
reconstruction of those houses, NDH president Slavica Hruskar said at
a news conference on Tuesday.
"We are not questioning other people's right to reclaim their
property, but we want our soldiers to be given compensation, both in
financial and moral terms. The soldiers, some 300 of them, did not
occupy those houses by force, they were given valid certificates after
Operation "Storm" to use the houses and the certificates are now being
cancelled," Hruskar said.
The soldiers are forced out of the houses by citizens of Serbia and
Montenegro who even do not live in Croatia, Hruskar said.
The government fulfils its obligations towards the international
community and the Hague war crimes tribunal but it is doing nothing
for Croatian soldiers, Hruskar said.
