    [07] INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON NUCLEAR RESEARCH

    After all the pressures and humiliations of Serbs in Croatia in the recent years, today even their Church might be taken away from them. The Zagreb weekly magazine "Obzor",following the policy of the ruling party, restored the question of previously planned forming of the so called Croatian Orthodox Church, stating that the Orthodox Croats were forced to join the Serbian Orthodox Church. "Nevertheles, all the Orthodox Churches are named by the state they perform in, and for the destruction of the Croatian Orthodox Church, formed in the Ustashi Independent state of Croatia, "Obzor" is accusing the communists. Head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Milanko Popovic said, that in Croatia there is not enough believers to raise the question of Church independence. The Representative of Serbs in the Croatian Parliament, Mr. Veselin Pejnovic, said that this was a church and not a political issue. Commenting "Obzor" statement that the Serbian Orthodox Church in Croatia, depends on the Church in a foreign country, Mr. Pejnovic answered shortly that Vatican is not in Croatia, as well.

    The Representatives of the Croatian Democratic Cpmmunity, boycotting the first, constituting session of the Cantonal Assembly of Sarajevo three days ago, are trying to use the whole situation about the status of the town for some other purposes, the Moslem media are stressing. "These goals are ethnic-pure regions, that the Croatian Democratic Community did not abandon in practice.", states the Leader of the Pro-Moslem Oposition Party Mr. Sejfudin Tokic. The Representatives of Croats from Sarajevo stated that they do not want to formally participate in the work of such Assembly, since their federal partners, the Moslems, have the majority of votes in adopting all the vital decisions.
