In Zagreb. there is a poster on the wall of the International Rescue Committee which graphically summarized the situation. In one photo is an emaciated victim of a Nazi concentration camp captioned: "Never Forget. 1942." Juxtaposed is another photo of an emaciated victim of a Serbian concentration camp victim captioned: "Never Forget. 1992." We met with Croatian President Franjo Tudjman. He is clear on his goals: to regain onefourth of Croatian territory currently occupied by the Serbs. to return the 400.000 refugees who have been forced into Croatia. and to reintegrate all occupied territories and the 200.000 Croatians who have been cut off. He stated his hope that the U.N. protection forces will be extended beyond their March 1993 termination date. He endorses the VanceOwens plan to settle the conflict.
