RELATIVES COMMEMORATE THE MISSING IN SELSKA

ZAGREB, 1 September (Hina) - Speaking at a memorial service for the victims of the Ovcara massacre, Deputy President of the Sabor Jadranka Kosor said she hoped that "persons responsible for that horrendous crime will be called to account." Zeljka Farkas, President of the Apel, an organization for protection of human rights of Croatian POWs, read an open letter to Transitional Administrator Jacques Klein, calling on revision of his decision on restricted coverage of exhumation: "Ovcara is only one in a series of mass graves in east Slavonia, Baranja and western Srijem. Families of the missing have the right to know what happened to their beloved ones and the murderers must be punished. There will be no peace and true reintegration in E. Slavonia until all the bodies from mass graves have been identified and buried with dignity and their murderers extradited to the Hague." The service, which was attended by about 200 relatives of the POWs and the missing, took place in front of the UNTAES Zagreb office in Selska St. mr (Hina) 011608 MET sep 96
