ZAGREB, Aug 24 (Hina) - Croat refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina and
Yugoslavia who settled in Croatia's areas of the special state
concern on Thursday voiced their dissatisfaction with co-operation
with local housing commissions.
An association of settlers (ZUN) that gathers those people and all
others who responded to a call of the former Croatian Government to
settle in scarcely-populated Croatian areas, forwarded a letter to
Croatia's First Deputy Prime Minister Goran Granic and an assistant
to the Public Works and Reconstruction Minister, Lovre Pejkovic,
and other competent officials, notifying them that there were
problems in the communications between those settlers and local
housing commissions.
The association, whose head offices are in Knin, maintains that the
problem can be solved if senior responsible officials give precise
instructions to lower levels.
It warns that there are some local housing commissions without any
representative of settlers who can advocate their interests.
The association said the return of Serbs had been intensifying, and
on the other hand, relevant factors failed to solve the housing
problems of Croat settlers.
In addition, pensioners who arrived from Bosnia and who now live in
Croatia have not received pensions for several months.
The problem is also the health insurance to which those retirees are
entitled only by October this year. As of that period they should
pay it by their own means.
The association is going to hold a news conference on 29 August to
inform the public of its problems in detail.
