REFUGEES UNABLE TO VISIT CEMETERIES LIGHT CANDLES AT UN POSTS

ZADAR, Nov 1 (Hina) - Several hundred inhabitants of Zemunik and displaced people from the Zadar-Knin area today laid wreaths and lit candles at a UNPROFOR checkpoint in Zemunik. In solidarity with the refugees, people from Zemunik did not go to their cemetery - which is in the disengagement zone and quite accessible - but preferred to lit their candles at the Zemunik checkpoint. Also present were members of Parliament Drago Krpina, Vice Profaca and Zdenko Matesic. Krpina told reporters that he considered "humiliating" UNPROFOR's offer to refugees to visit only a few villages in the occupied territory. "Refugees should get rid of the idea that protests and candles can achieve anything," Krpina said. "The March 29 cease-fire agreement has not gotten us a jot nearer the integration of the occupied areas. Judging from the latest statements of Serb leaders, integration won't be possible in the near future," he said. Refugees from Baranja (UNPA East), who have not been allowed to visit their cemeteries for four years, lit candles at the feet of a cross on Bilje Road and in front of a UN checkpoint in Nemetin. Refugees from the Drnis area (UNPA South) similarly lit candles at an UNPROFOR checkpoint in Pakovo Selo. (hina) as 012032 MET nov 94
