PRTENJACA ON RETURN OF REFUGEES

ZADAR, Apr 8 (Hina) - Despite of the recently signed ceasefire agreement, there will be no mass return in villages of the Zadar hinterland until all important conditions are fulfilled, said Prefect of the County of Zadar and Knin Sime Prtenjaca at today's meeting with representatives of the county police, army, and other services. The ground should be cleared of mines, war damage assessed, and water and electric supplies repaired, said Prtenjaca. Inhabitants of free villages in the Zadar-Biograd hinterland will be the first to return home, while the return of refugees to villages in exclusion zones will be possible only when the sides involved in conflict are disengaged in conformity with the Zagreb agreement. The return of refugees to deep inside the occupied territory is impossible, said Prtenjaca. + 081558 MET apr 94
