BORJE, 11 July (Hina) - Sixty-nine Serb refugees from the Croatian
Danube river region on Thursday arrived in the national park of
Plitvicka jezera (Plitvice lakes), some 80 km south of Zagreb. The
returnees were escorted by the representatives of the U.N. High
Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and Croatian Interior Ministry,
officials in Plitvicka jezera municipal headquarters and Korenica police
station told reporters.
Yesterday's return was organised by the Croatian Government and
U.N. Transitional Administration in Eastern Slavonia (UNTAES), UNHCR
representatives said, adding that the return was part of a project on
two-way return of Croats to the Danube river region and Serbs to the
area of Lika-Senj County.
The Serb returnees arrived by UNHCR buses in front of the Plitvice
motel 'Borje'. The convoy was accompanied by some 10 U.N. trucks which
carried farm machinery and luggage. The 69 Serbs will return to
Korenica, Bunic, Debelo Brdo, Licko Petrovo Selo, Donji Lapac and
Gracac.
So far, some 500 Serbs have returned to the area of Korenica and
