LETTER OF EXPELLED CROATS FROM SARAJEVO

MOSTAR, Feb 3 (Hina/HABENA) - "We want to return to our homes and to continue to live in Sarajevo" stresses the letter of the expelled Croats from Sarajevo, temporarily situated in Central Bosnia. The letter is forwarded to Mile Akmadzic, who will be in Bosnian Croats' delegation at the forthcoming round of the Geneva negotiations on 10 February 1994. "We hold that the proposal on the two-year-long U.N. protectorate over our city could be in accordance with the interests of Croats to a certain extent. If the city is to be divided, we request that You should also demand a part under Croatian control (Croatian municipality, enclave, county or something like that)," says the letter. The letter concludes that the Moslem authorities of the city have suppressed any kind of freedom for the Croatian population in Sarajevo, especially since the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) of Sarajevo was abolished. 032059 MET feb 94
