KACIC: SITUATION ON PREVLAKA IS EXAMPLE OF TRUNCATED CROATIA'S INTEGRITY

DUBROVNIK, Sept 10 (Hina) - "The current situation on Prevlaka peninsula is still a problem and an example of Croatia's truncated territorial integrity, and the continuation of such a situation is unacceptable for Croatia," Professor Hrvoje Kacic said at a seminar on the subject of Croatia's border on Prevlaka peninsula. #L# The seminar was organised by associations of Croatian volunteers and veterans of the Homeland War, Dubrovnik City and the city's branch of the association of Croatian military invalids of the Homeland War. Kacic recalled that Dubrovnik-Neretva County had last year requested that the UN mission on the southernmost Croatian peninsula be withdrawn. He called on the Croatian government to undertake all necessary measures so that the current situation could be solved in the interest of the Croatian state. Kacic stressed that UN observers had no authority anywhere in the world to stop the free movement of civilians and using the area for economic purposes, and Prevlaka was the perfect example of where they were overstepping their mandate. The professor said he expected the issue of Prevlaka, that is, the presence of the UN Mission, to be solved by the end of the year, under the condition that the Croatian diplomacy undertake the necessary steps on time.
