SARAJEVO, May 23 (Hina) - The non-existence of any kind of serious
preparations for the return to Bosnia-Herzegovina of refugees from
that country who during the war found refuge in Germany was the main
motive of the Croatian Government to express readiness to receive
about 80,000 of them, the Croatian Ambassador to Bosnia-
Herzegovina Darinko Bago said in an interview for the Saturday
edition of the Sarajevo daily "Dnevni Avaz".
The Croatian Government wants to retain those refugees, especially
Croats, so that they do not go permanently to overseas countries,
said Bago. He explained that by accommodating them on the territory
of Croatia they wish to create a preference for those people to
return to their homes as soon as conditions are created, and they
alone would decide if they want to do that or not.
Bago resolutely rejected the possibility that the implementation
of these ideas would bring into question the issue of the return of
refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina to Croatia or from Croatia to
Bosnia-Herzegovina, stressing that even Germany would surely not
consent to something like that.
On the question to comment on the course of the recent held Croatian
Democratic Union (HDZ) of Bosnia-Herzegovina Convention, at which
the candidate favoured by Zagreb was not elected, Bago said: "I do
not doubt that the new Presidency of HDZ B-H would lead the policy of
protecting the continued presence of the Croatian people in B-H,
and the Republic of Croatia will consistently support that
policy".
He also judged that implementing President Tudjman's proposal for
the change of administrative divisions in some parts of B-H as well
as demilitarisation would strengthen Bosnia-Herzegovina and the
Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The administrative divisions
idea, stressed Bago, is not contrary to the Dayton agreement which
precisely talks about the right of a minority people to establish
their own municipality, by which national identity is protected,
while demilitarisation, together with firm guarantees by Bosnia's
neighbours and the whole international community, would lead to the
economic stabilisation of B-H whose entities are not in a position
to fork out money necessary for an army.
