area. #L#
"I actively participate in the peaceful reintegration process,
believing in the UNTAES mission, especially in your statement after the
Letter of Intent, that Serbs received more than the highest European
standards guaranteed to national minorities. I was convinced that an end
came to concessions affecting displaced persons from the Croatian Danubian
area and that you would end your mission under the principles you promote,"
the letter said.
"Your idea of restructuring the Croatian Danubian area, that is, the
creation of new electoral units, or Serb municipalities, is nothing else
than a contradiction to UNTAES principles. Blackmailing the Croatian
government by not calling elections for 13 April, you are asking that they
be given clean ethnic municipalities (Jagodnjak, Sodolovci, Markusica,
Negoslavci and the local committee Tenja and Mirkovci)," Simic stressed.
"I am left to believe that you are working on the destabilization of
Croatia and against the interests of Croatian displaced persons and their
return, as well as before UNPROFOR and UNCRO," the letter said, adding that,
despite all, displaced persons would vote at the forthcoming elections.
