BUGOJNO CROATS SAY DEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION IS DISTURBED

( Editorial: --> 8800 ) BUGOJNO, Sept 8 (Hina) - The demographic make-up of Bugojno Municipality has been considerably disturbed, representatives of displaced Bugojno Croats said on Monday. A Muslim-controlled town in central Bosnia, Bugojno has a population of 33,500, including 30,000 Muslims, 3,000 Croats and 500 Serbs, municipal head Djevad Mlaco told a session of the Bugojno Municipal Council. Displaced Croat councillors however pointed out that some 16,000 Croats from Bugojno were in exile, and added that, according to a 1991 census, Bugojno Municipality had 19,000 Muslims and 17,500 Croats. Councillors of the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ BH) did not accept a report Mlaco submitted on the employment structure in 59 bodies of authority in Bugojno Municipality. The fact that only 12 marginal posts have been offered to us is non- permissible, they assessed. Mlaco told three Croat returnee councillors they could get the keys to their flats which were previously occupied by Muslims. The other councillors will be given their flats and houses soon, he added. (hina) ha jn 081237 MET sep 98
