ZAGREB, March 23 (Hina) - Croatian Health Minister Andrija Hebrang said
in parliament on Tuesday that Nikica Car, a former head of the
management board of Zagreb's Clinical Hospital, confirmed to him that
he had resigned from the post because of health reasons.#L#
Hebrang made the statement in response to a question by Ingrid
Anticevic Marinovic of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), who asked
the minister if he could not have found any other candidate for the
post of the hospital director but Milan Kujundzic, whom she described
as "a supporter of Ustasha leader Ante Pavelic".
Anticevic said that during an official visit to Madrid Kujundzic
visited Pavelic's grave to pay tribute to the president of the
Independent State of Croatia.
We have stated our position on that visit, we have condemned it,
Hebrang said adding that Kujundzic had nothing to do with the
incident.
Kujundzic was in a group which quite accidentally came across the
grave while strolling through the cemetery, Hebrang said eliciting
laughter in the parliament.
Jadranka Kosor, the minister of family and war veterans' affairs and
inter-generation solidarity, said that the ministry would propose the
establishment of a council to help find and identify 1,214 persons
from lists of imprisoned and missing persons.
She confirmed that the remains of seven persons were recovered
yesterday from a mass grave in the eastern village of Tordinci, which
is believed to contain the remains of 208 people.
