MOSTAR, March 29 (Hina) - Quoting reports by military officers, the Croat National Congress (HNS) said in a statement 50 percent of Croat Defence Council (HVO) members had left military facilities in Bosnia's Croat-Muslim entity by 2
pm on Thursday. This means that members of the Croat component of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina Army "have respected a recommendation by their people's legitimate representatives to temporarily abandon their units." The HVO facilities, the statement reads, are safeguarded according to a previously set schedule and in line with SFOR by HVO members. The statement further states that "about 8,000 HVO members have acted in line with the recommendation from the HNS decree (calling for the temporary disbanding of the HVO) despite misinformation, pressures and blackmailing by the illegal federal defence ministry." How long the HVO soldiers will stay outside the barracks
MOSTAR, March 29 (Hina) - Quoting reports by military officers, the
Croat National Congress (HNS) said in a statement 50 percent of
Croat Defence Council (HVO) members had left military facilities in
Bosnia's Croat-Muslim entity by 2 pm on Thursday.
This means that members of the Croat component of the Federation of
Bosnia-Herzegovina Army "have respected a recommendation by their
people's legitimate representatives to temporarily abandon their
units."
The HVO facilities, the statement reads, are safeguarded according
to a previously set schedule and in line with SFOR by HVO members.
The statement further states that "about 8,000 HVO members have
acted in line with the recommendation from the HNS decree (calling
for the temporary disbanding of the HVO) despite misinformation,
pressures and blackmailing by the illegal federal defence
ministry."
How long the HVO soldiers will stay outside the barracks will depend
on when a political solution on Bosnia-Herzegovina's internal
organisation, guaranteeing full constitutional and actual
equality of the Croat people in the country, will be achieved, the
HNS said.
