SNS PRESENTS NEW PEACE PROPOSAL

ZAGREB, July 14 (Hina) - Leaders of the Serbian National Party (SNS) presented at today's press conference a new peace proposal on the settlement of the conflict and political crisis in former Yugoslavia, particularly in Croatia. This proposal was made as a result of the rejection of the first peace proposal of the SNS "Peace without alternative", which had been presented in the end of last year, said deputy leader of the SNS Veselin Pejnovic. Leader of the SNS Milan Dukic stressed that the new peace proposal was based on the resolution of the issue on Krajina through granting the Serb minority full political autonomy in the areas with predominant Serb population. "Serbs in Croatia will not accept the status of national minority, but the status of a nation with the right to self-determination without separation," said Dukic. Veselin Pejnovic said that the term of occupation should be redefined because "those people who live somewhere 500 years cannot occupy that area, only paramilitary forces can do it." 141519 MET jul 94
