TO LEAVE THEIR TEMPORARY RESIDENCES IN HOTELS AND 
RETURN TO THEIR HOMES IN THE PINK ZONE AROUND 
SIBENIK.  ETHNIC CLEANSING REPORTEDLY CONTINUES IN 
THE BARANJA AREA (SECTOR EAST).  DESPITE GOVERNMENT 
EFFORTS TO PRIVATIZE REMAINING PUBLIC-OWNED 
ENTERPRISES, FEWER THAN ONE-QUARTER HAVE BEEN SOLD 
THUS FAR.  A COURT-ORDERED SEARCH UNCOVERED LARGE 
AMOUNTS OF EXPLOSIVES AND ARMS AT THE DOWNTOWN

CROATIAN SABOR PASSES AMNESTY LAW 
------------------------------------- 
 
¶2.  DURING THE SECOND AND FINAL DAY OF ITS LATEST 
SESSION (ON SEPTEMBER 25), CROATIA'S SABOR PASSED 
THE AMNESTY LAW PROPOSED BY PRESIDENT TUDJMAN AFTER 
SOME STORMY DEBATES.  THE LEGISLATION EXCUSES ALL 
THOSE WHO FOUGHT AGAINST CROATIA BUT DID NOT COMMIT 
WAR CRIMES.  THE LOCAL PRESS NOTED THAT THE ACTION 
WAS 
TIMED TO COINCIDE WITH THE VANCE-OWEN MEETINGS IN 
ZAGREB TO PROVE THAT CROATIA IS DOING ITS PART TO 
REESTABLISH PEACE IN CROATIA. 
 
¶3.  MOST OF THE OPPOSITION PARTIES WERE AGAINST THE 
MEASURE.  CROATIAN NATIONAL PARTY AND SOCIAL LIBERAL 
PARTY LEADERS CALLED THE LAW ONE-SIDED, AND

ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE ENEMY.  SABOR PRESIDENT STIPE 
MESIC DEFENDED THE LAW BECAUSE IT APPLIES ONLY TO 
THOSE WHO WERE "MISLED," NOT TO CRIMINALS. 
 
¶4.  ALL CROATIAN DAILIES FRONT-PAGED THE ISSUE, AND 
A NUMBER FEATURED EDITORIALS EXPRESSING CONCERN 
ABOUT HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE LEGISLATION SINCE IT WAS 
RUSHED THROUGH.  ONE DAILY PUBLISHED A POLL 
SEPTEMBER 28 IN WHICH ABOUT 55 PERCENT OF 
RESPONDENTS SUPPORTED THE AMNESTY LAW, NEARLY 30 
PERCENT WERE AGAINST, AND ABOUT 15 PERCENT WERE

SECOND SESSION OF CROATIAN DEFENSE COUNCIL 
------------------------------------------ 
 
¶5.  ON SEPTEMBER 26, THE CROATIAN DEFENSE COUNCIL 
HELD ITS SECOND SESSION IN ZAGREB.  THE AGENDA 
INCLUDED THE TUDJMAN-IZETBEGOVIC ADDENDUM TO THE 
CROATIA/B-H FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT AND 
ITS IMPLEMENTATION, THE ARMY'S ROLE IN PEACETIME, 
CROATIA'S BORDER PROBLEMS WITH SLOVENIA, AND 
INTERNAL SECURITY IN THE FACE OF TERRORIST AND 
PARAMILITARY ACTIONS.  THE COUNCIL ESTABLISHED A 
COMMITTEE TO COORDINATE WITH B-H LEADERS IN ORDER TO 
RESOLVE OUTSTANDING BILATERAL ISSUES, RESTRAIN 
AGGRESSION AGAINST B-H, AND RESTORE PEACE.

RETURN OF REFUGEES TO THE PINK ZONE OF SECTOR SOUTH 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
¶6.  FOLLOWING THE GOVERNMENT'S RECENT DECISION TO 
STRIP SOME INDIVIDUALS OF REFUGEE STATUS, SIBENIK 
MUNICIPAL LEADERS ORDERED DISPLACED PERSONS (CROATS) 
FROM THE SKRADIN REGION AND THE DRNIS DISTRICT TO 
LEAVE HOTELS IN SIBENIK AND VODICE AND RETURN TO 
THEIR HOMES.  THIS IS THE FIRST GROUP SO AFFECTED. 
 
¶7.  MEANWHILE, UNPROFOR REPRESENTATIVES IN SECTOR 
SOUTH ASSERTED THAT THE PROBLEM IN THE PINK ZONE IS 
THE DISARMAMENT OF PARAMILITARY FORMATIONS AND THE 
"KRAJINA" MILITIA.  UNPROFOR IS CONCENTRATING ON

¶8.  IN THE LAST 10 DAYS, 200 CROATS AND HUNGARIANS 
HAVE BEEN EXPELLED FROM BARANJA IN SECTOR EAST--MOST 
OF THEM FROM THE AREA BETWEEN BELI MANASTIR AND 
HUNGARY.  SERBIAN AUTHORITIES IN BARANJA HOPE THIS 
WILL PREVENT THE ANNOUNCED RETURN OF CROATIAN 
REFUGEES TO THIS TERRITORY.  DURING THE LAST 15 
DAYS, 11 PERSONS WERE ALSO KILLED IN BARANJA.

¶9.  DURING LAST WEEK'S SABOR SESSION, THE GOVERNMENT 
ANNOUNCED THAT IT IS PREPARING A LAW THAT WILL BREAK 
APART THE STATE-OWNED ENERGY MONOPOLY "INA."  THE 
GOVERNMENT WILL KEEP MAJORITY CONTROL OVER THE 
EXPLOITATION OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS ALTHOUGH OTHER 
INVESTORS WILL STILL BE ABLE TO BUY SHARES. 
- 
¶10.  MEANWHILE, THE AGENCY FOR RESTRUCTURING AND 
DEVELOPMENT OF CROATIA HAS ISSUED 600 DECISIONS 
ABOUT THE PRIVATIZATION OF OTHER REMAINING 
GOVERNMENT-OWNED ENTERPRISES.  THE ENTIRE WORTH OF 
ALL THESE ENTERPRISES AMOUNTS TO 3.2 BILLION MARKS, 
AND THEY EMPLOY 49,527 WORKERS.  ABOUT HALF OF THE 
SHARES WERE BOUGHT BY WORKERS IN SEVERAL IMPORTANT 
FIRMS (THE CANDY ENTERPRISE "KRAS" AND THE SHIPYARD 
"ULJANIK" IN PULA).  PRIVATIZATION EFFORTS WILL 
CONTINUE BECAUSE FEWER THAN ONE-FOURTH OF ELIGIBLE 
FIRMS HAVE BEEN SOLD OFF THUS FAR.  TO ACCELERATE 
THE PROCESS, ENTERPRISES WILL ALSO BE OFFERED TO 
FOREIGN PURCHASERS-
