BELGRADE, June 19 (Hina) - Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica believes that hunger strike of Serbs in a prison in the eastern Croatian town of Osijek "shows that fundamental human rights are not respected in Croatia". Kostunica
said he expected the Croatian judiciary to "fulfil the requests" of persons on strike in order to normalise the two countries' relations. A statement, issued by Kostunica's Office Monday evening, points to a joint statement of the two countries' presidents. In Kostunica's opinion, after the joint statement, the relations between the two countries are on the ascending line. The joint statement read that all obstacles to the return of Serb refugees would be removed and that human rights would be reciprocally protected. Unfortunately, the arrests did not stop, and the events in the Osijek prison point to the failure to respect fundamental human rights, Kostunica said in the statement.(hina
