CROATIA Continued from Page 26A J They act opt international volunteers as well. 1 think support from foreign coun tries to humanitarian institutions like Sun cokret and Nexus is important in tunes ot economic crisis in Croatia itself. The existence of these institu tions and peace organizations like AWCC is necessary for develop ment and maintenance of civil society and democracy in Croa tia. Merely their existent* doesn't mean much, but people need to act together for renewing their society. People tend to get easy parts like fashions from outside countries but don’t know how to deal with essential part. I know this because it happened in my country, and I realized that moral decadence and ignorance are the main enemies of civil society. Economic development is impor tant but only with moral devel opment. As I mentioned above. I visit ed one hotel for displaced peo ple. They ant Croats from a town tailed Vukovar. There is no major war in Croatia, where one-third of the territory has Ixien occupied by Croatian Serbs with the help of Serbia. In coastal towns like Zadar and Sibenik, they are sometimes shelled by Croatian Serbs from the mountain side For almost two years, displaced Croats have been living in camps, hotels and other accommodations with no place to go back Many Croatian Serbs had the same fate and fled to Serbia. In the hotel, all of them looked healthy and there was almost no complaints about basic necessities. The hotel COURTFSY PHOTO Men resting neer TCCS trucks. provides food and shelters for free, and several times in a week, volunteers from Suncokret visit and do activities with children and others. Children explained how Croa tian Serbs. Croats and other minorities had lived peacefully and friendly before the war began. Only by talking with these children, one can be sure how stupid and senseless the reason ing of the war is like ancient hatred or historical antagonism People should not forgot about what happened in past atrocities because it's going to las a lesson for younger generations. At the same time, there is forgiveness, and agony and antagonism may disappear as time passes by. Many people in ex-Yugoslavia, mainly those in cities, have the sense of tolerance and civility, but others have not Then, peo ple who tried to seek or maintain power exploited the situation and manipulated those who have not Ex-Yugoslavia was a mixture of many nationalities hut also that of modern and primitive soci eties. I had a good time with these displaced children. 1 asked what they wanted the most now They all said in one voice peace. They wrote some messages for people in the United States They need some supplies for school so that they could continue to study. They are eager to know atiout oth er people's cultures and wont to lie friends with American people. They want western countries to Turn to CROATIA.
