Yugoslav Daily Survey, 1997-02-18 ; Tanjug, 1997-02-17[03] HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS HARMONIZED WITH THE WORLDSerbia is applying the highest world standards in the field of human rights and national minorities, said Monday Serbian Minister for Human Rights and National Minority Rights Ivan Sedlak.These standards have been been put into practice for the greatest part, Sedlak. However, he warned that these successes cannot be reason for complacency, because, he said, 'our society is in a process of transition, and that is influencing also this field, since a poor material basis gives rise to different problems.' Asked how he assessed relations between nationalities in Subotica, in view of one-national power dominance in the past, Sedlak said that he would be working for the interests of all citizens in Subotica rather than to place in the forefront the interests of one group of the population. 'All those who wish this city well must find a minimum of common interests realized in the Republic of Serbia, which is indispensable for the prosperity of the city and of the Republic,' he said. Efforts to separate Subotica from Serbia as an interest sphere runs contrary to the interests of the city and of the state, Sedlak said, and added that Subotica had always been a city of tolerance and mutual understanding of over twenty nationalities living in it.
