ZAGREB, May 15 (Hina) - The Croatian Parliament's House of
Representatives adjourned on Wednesday afternoon because most
deputies were attending the burial of a Croatian political figure
whose remains had been transferred from the United States.
A Parliament delegation headed by speaker Vlatko Pavletic paid
their last respects to Vladko Macek whose coffin was displayed in a
mortuary in Zagreb's main Mirogoj Cemetery.
Macek was the last president of the Croatian Peasant Party
(HSS) in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia which collapsed during the
Second World War.
A perservering fighter for Croatian rights within the Kingdom
dominated by Serbs, Macek was sentenced to prison terms several
times. He was also imprisoned by authorities of the Indpendent
State of Croatia (NDH).
Determined in his anti-Communism and anti-Fascism alike, in
1945 Macek emigrated to Paris and in 1946 he travelled to the
United States. He died in Washington in 1964.
