CROATIAN PRESIDENT'S EASTER MESSAGE

ZAGREB, Apr 2 (Hina) -Croatian President Dr Franjo Tudjman on Saturday sent an Easter message to "all Croats in Croatia and abroad, all refugees, the wounded, and all those suffering and bereft of their loved ones," wishing them "an Easter filled with peace and reconciliation with their neighbours, spiritual renewal and national togetherness." "Last year many Croats, particularly those expelled and those in occupied territories, and most of all those in war-stricken Bosnia-Herzegovina, suffered the bloody Calvary of the Croatian Good Friday. We did all we could to put an end to human suffering and to achieve a just peace as a pledge for future life, and to enable everyone to freely return and rebuild their homes, their villages and towns, so that the evil of war, captivity and exile should never happen again," the message said. 021628 MET apr 94
