    [03] BEFORE THE MEETING "THE SERBS IN CROATIA" IN ZAGREB

    From the 18th to the 20th October, in Zagreb, a panel discussion will be held on "The Serbs in Croatia", organized by the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, and presided by Professor Ivo Banac. It is the same meeting that should have been held last spring, but had to be postponed under hard pressure. The Helsinki Committee's main and most difficult problems in its activities lie in the fact that they represent the conscience of the Croat society regarding the Serbian population, especially after the exodus from Krajina. Those ones, justifying the ethnic purge of the Serbian people, name the activists and the leaders of the Helsinki Committee "Serb lovers" and " enemies of Croatia". The euphoria of intolerance, hate and hysterical chauvinist rage was especially stressed in "Hrvatsko slovo" , the newspaper of the Croatian writers Association. For the organizers of the panel discussion and the invited guests the firing squad was even recommended. This time, the target of their attacks was Rade Bulat, one of the few Serbs Partisans, still active in the politics. "Anti - Croat" attitude is ascribed to him, all the more because he used to and still discloses the facts that Serbs were the backbone of the anti fascist struggle during the Second World War in Croatia. Those ones, hiding the fact on that are hiding also the facts on rebirth of fascism in Croatia now and the mass crimes on the Serbian civil population in Krajina. It is no wonder that they oppose any public discussion of the position of Serbs in Croatia, since it mostly compromises " the young Croatian democracy". (Politika, Oct. 18, 1996)

    [05] SERBIA AGAIN PARTICIPATING IN THE DANUBE BASIN COUNTRIES COMMUNITY

    The Republic of Serbia, after the formal lifting of sanctions against FR Yugoslavia, since yesterday officially continued its active and equal participation in the Danube basin countries Community(RZ).

    [06] CONTROVERSY BETWEEN SDA AND HDZ ON GOVERNING SARAJEVO

    After Mostar, Sarajevo will become the new focus of controversy in the Moslem-Croat Federation. Analyzing the yesterday meeting the leaders of Democratic Action Party and the Croatian Democratic Union confirm that the agreement of the federal partners on the functioning of ruling the Federation failed because of the difference in opinions on the Sarajevo Canton system. HDZ demands that the governmental bodies of Sarajevo should be constituted on the equal rights of the people, without considering their number. The background of the Croatian pressure upon SDA is simple, show the analysis, since Croats do not want Sarajevo, as main city of the Federation, to be a single-national Moslem canton.

    [07] INNOCENT RELEASED FROM CROATIAN PRISONS

    The group of 45 pardoned prisoners from Krajina, arrested last year by the Croat Authorities during the military action "Storm", arrived yesterday to FR Yugoslavia. The released men from Krajina were imprisoned in Split, Remetinec and Lepoglava since August 1995. According to the Chairman of the Federal Committee of humanitarian issues and missing persons, Dr. Pavle Todorovic, who met the released men at the border, together with the representatives of the Commissariat for Refugees, Yugoslav Red Cross and the International Red Cross Committee. this last amnesty fulfills the terms of the Dayton Agreement and the recently signed Agreement between FR Yugoslavia and Croatia. Mr. Todorovic reminded that there are 120 more Serbs - prisoners in Croatian prisons and that FR Yugoslavia will continue its efforts for these people to be released soon. For none of the pardoned prisoners, arriving last evening in Belgrade, the Croatian authorities did submit proofs of the alleged guilt, for which they were imprisoned in the last months.
