MORE THAN 2,000 DISPLACED WILL VISIT CEMETERIES IN DANUBIAN AREA O

O $ N ALL SAINTS' DAY VUKOVAR, 29 Oct (Hina) - Some 2,000 to 2,500 people are expected to visit the graveyards in the U.N.-administered eastern Slavonia on All Saints' Day, said spokesman for the U.N. Transitional Administration in Eastern Slavonia (UNTAES), Philip Arnold. Speaking at a press conference in Zagreb on Tuesday, Arnold said that the Administration was still completing a list of villages and towns which would be visited by Croatia's displaced. The displaced would travel in buses, which would be escorted by Transitional Police members, while UNTAES soldiers would be in charge of general security, Arnold said, adding there was no sign of any difficulties. Reporters would not be allowed to travel with the displaced, Arnold said, adding the UNTAES held that the visit had a religious and not political character. By 25 October, some 23,500 persons in the Croatian Danubian area had applied for Croatian documents. Some 8,200 documents, mainly citizenship certificates, had been issued so far. Arnold said he was disappointed with the pace of the issuing of documents, as it was slower than the UNTAES had expected. During October, the UNTAES had bought 7,700 pieces of weapons from people living in eastern Slavonia, Arnold said. Out of those 7,700 pieces, 3,500 were grenades and shells. The program would be continued until January. The weapons had been bought with German marks until recently, but as of this week, they would be purchased with kunas, Arnold said.
