( Editorial: --> 8938 ) GLINA, March 11 (Hina) - Seven hundred and fifty Serbs have returned to the Glina area from the Croatian Danube region. Out of that number, 250 have returned in line with the agreement on the two-way return while the rest returned in an unorganised manner. Out of 181 requests for the return of property, 85 were solved positively, it was said at Wednesday's meeting between Glina mayor Marko Sremic, the coordinator of the Porec Centre for Civic Initiatives, Biserka Momcinovic, the head of the Serb Democratic Forum in Vojnic, Ninko Minic, and an observer of the regional office of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) in Topusko, Melinda Lord. The Glina mayor said that town authorities had done all they could to remove difficulties encountered by Serbs who were returning from the Danubian region, Yugoslavia and Republika Srpska.
