ZAGREB, May 7 (Hina) - Savka Dabcevic-Kucar marked the 30th anniversary of the historic address she made on Zagreb's central square in 1971 by meeting people in downtown Zagreb on Monday. "Croatian Spring" was a struggle whose goal
was the achievement of every people's elementary democratic right, the right to independence, she said. Comparing the political situation in 1971 and present-day Croatia, Dabcevic-Kucar said Croatian independence had been achieved and that now a modern, democratic society had to be built in the independent and sovereign Croatian state. She described those who continue to put their national independence to the forefront as "people who have slept through one stage of development and who still see before them the goal achieved several years ago."(hina) ha sb
