A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON MONDAY

ZAGREB, June 3 (Hina) - The Monday edition of the Zagreb-based daily VJESNIK includes a front-page article on ten advisory referendums that were held in four Croatian counties on Sunday. Vjesnik publishes a document "Status of the Serb district of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Srijem," saying in part that the Serbs in the remaining occupied areas of eastern Croatia demand the right to a district parliament and government, flag, coat of arms and national anthem, district citizenship, currency and bank, district budget, their own taxes and customs duties. "Demands for a State within a State" is the headline of an article commenting on a proposal put forward by local Serb leader Goran Hadzic for the special status of Serbs in eastern Croatia. Croatia has sent a clear warning that it will not pursue peaceful reintegration of the areas unless the Serbs rencounce such secessionist ideas, the article says. An article headlined "'Paper' Army of the Bosnian Federation" says that despite a very precise agreement reached by Croat and Moslem political representatives at a meeting of the Federation Forum in Washington, it seems that the federal law on defence and the setup of federal armed forces will not materialize. Another Zagreb-based daily VECERNJI LIST covered Sunday's talks in Geneva on further implementation of the Dayton peace accords in Bosnia-Herzegovina under the headline "Everybody Waiting for (Bosnian Serb leader) Karadzic to Resign."
