DOMLJAN WRITES TO EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS ABOUT WESTERN SLAVONIA

ZAGREB, May 11 (Hina) - The head of the Croatian Parliament delegation to the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly, Zarko Domljan, today forwarded a letter to Assembly chairman Miguel Angel Martinez and other senior officials, and to the chairman of the Assembly of the West European Union, Sir Dudley Smith, in connection with different interpretations of the recent events in western Slavonia and groundless accusations at Croatia's expense. Domljan explained the latest situation regarding the re- establishment of the Croatian legal system in western Slavonia following a successful limited action by Croatian police in the hitherto occupied area, a statement from Domljan's cabinet said. The Croatian government had given assurances that all civil and minority rights would be protected, which had a positive effect on defusing the situation, Domljan wrote. The head of the Croatian Parliament delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Bozidar Petrac, sent a letter of similar content to Assembly chairman Frank Swaelen and members of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Office.
