A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON TUESDAY

ZAGREB, 28 May (Hina) - Today's issue of "VJESNIK" brings an interview with the commander of U.N. forces in the Croatian Danubian area, General Joseph Schoups. The interview is headlined 'largest Part of Weapons Removed From Croatian Danubian Area'. U.N. military forces are ready to prevent any attempt aimed at military infiltration into the eastern Slavonia area, General Schoups said. #L# Nenad Ivankovic comments on the second session of the Presidential Council which focused on Croatia's international position and the postponement of its admission to the Council of Europe. Ivankovic stresses that 'it still can be said that Europe had at least its own reasons why it decided to keep us waiting. Or, in other words, only few would say that Croatian authorities are the only ones to blame'. In an article headlined 'Right Meeting At Right Time', journalist Drazen Curic writes about the same topic and concludes that the Presidential Council confirmed that 'there is absolute agreement on Croatia's strategic interests'. Fran Visnar comments on the latest events regarding relations between Zagreb and the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica. The article focuses on the issue of Prevlaka peninsula. Commenting on the Presidential Council session, journalist Mate Piskor says: "The session has confirmed the key force that emerged during the establishment and strengthening of the state and defence against the Serbian aggression. It is national unity in preserving national interests and national pride. That unity was shown through the actions of the state leadership and leaders of Opposition parties, both during the second session of the Presidential Council and the procedure on Croatia's admission to the Council of Europe. The paper also brings an interview with the chairman of the Croatian Parliament, Vlatko Pavletic, on the current political situation in Croatia. (hina) rm mm 281143 MET may 96
