BEBIC IN PARIS ON PEACEFUL REINTEGRATION OF CRO DANUBIAN AREA

PARIS, Mar 2 (Hina) - The Croatian President Franjo Tudjman's advisor for national security, Luka Bebic, delivered in Paris on Saturday evening a report on the political situation in Croatia to members of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and other Croatian parties. The report focused on the reintegration of the Croatian Danubian area and the forthcoming elections, as the key issues of Croatia's development and future. The reintegration of the Danubian area should be completed peacefully, Bebic pointed out and added that, to the Serb minority, the Croatian authorities guaranteed the highest European standards of national and civic rights. Bebic expected all Serbs who had not taken part in war crimes to stay. With the establishment of Croatian authority in the Croatian Danubian area and the return of displaced persons, Bebic said that Croatia was realizing the last strategic goal in the creation of an integral democratic Croatia all over its territory. The forthcoming elections should in this sense signify the establishment of Croatia's constitutional and juridical order in that part of the country, as well as a direction towards progress and the future, Bebic said and invited all Croatian emigrants, from France and other countries, to take part in the development of a modern, prosperous Croatian state.
