En efecto, 40 obispos, 600 sacerdotes, 500 religiosas y casi 70.000 peregrinosde toda Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croacia, y de otros paises europeos, concurrieron aBanja Luka para asistir a la misa celebrada por el Santo Padre en Petricevac,quien ademas beatifico al croata laico Ivan Merz, nativo de Banja Luka. Ya desde las 4,00 de la manananumerosos peregrinos se comenzaron a congregar frente a las ruinas delmonasterio de Petricevac. A partir de las 7,00, mientras esperaban el arribo delPontifice, los fieles comenzaron a cantar canciones religiosas y a agitarbanderitas amarillas y blancas, lo que contribuyo a crear un clima emotivoy solemne. A las 11,30 comenzo la misa, quese extendio hasta las 14,00 aproximadamente. Antes de la homilia, el obispo deBanja Luka y presidente de la Conferencia Episcopal de Bosnia-Hercegovina,monsenor Franjo Komarica, saludo al Santo Padre y advirtio sobre la dramaticasituacion de los catolicos en territorio de Bosnia-Hercegovina. Dijo monsenor Komarica: "Durantelos siglos de crecimiento y florecimiento, en esta region la Iglesia catolicatambien sufrio epocas y momentos dramaticos. Muchos obispos y sacerdotes (delclero secular y regular) al igual que muchos fieles seguidores de Cristo,pagaron con sus vidas su fidelidad a Dios y a la Iglesia. Durante la recientetragedia belica (1992-1995) nos abstuvimos de devolver mal por mal. A pesar denuestro comportamiento pacifista, por voluntad de ciertos factores de podermundiales la Iglesia catolica en la provincia de Banja Luka se encuentra ahoraal borde mismo de la extincion... "Por nuestro origen, nuestraherencia religiosa y por nuestra civilizacion, pertenecemos a la gran familiaeuropea. Por eso queremos y estamos en condiciones, de aportar a su desarrolloespiritual. Pero al mismo tiempo, estamos desilusionados y tristes por el hechode que esa misma Europa no nos reconoce como hombres y naciones con los mismosderechos que otros europeos. Que en esta parte de nuestroViejo continente, este se convierta lo antes posible en una Europa unida, conigualdad de derechos para nosotros tambien. Por eso, Santo Padre, le pedimoshumildemente y encarecidamente que siga usted siendo el vocero de todos loshombres desposeidos en sus derechos, sean o no catolicos", dijo mons.Komarica. Por su parte, durante la homiliael Santo Padre dijo entre otros conceptos: "Para toda una generacion dejovenes catolicos, el nombre de Ivan Merz significo un sistema de vida ycomportamiento. Vuestra patria y vuestra Iglesia, queridos jovenes, sufrierondificiles momentos y ahora hay que trabajar para que la vida se ponga en marchanuevamente. Me dirijo a ustedes y les pido que no claudiquen, sino que trabajencon mas ahinco para que Bosnia y Hercegovina se convierta en un pais de paz. Elfuturo de estas latitudes tambien depende de ustedes", dijo el Pontifice. Evidentemente los fuertesdispositivos de seguridad distribuidos por toda la ciudad, desanimo al gruporadical serbio que habia amenazado con organizar manifestaciones de protestacontra la visita del Papa. Al ver el alto grado de seguridad,muchos habitantes de religion ortodoxa tambien se animaron a ir a Petricevacpara escuchar el mensaje del Papa. La familia de Andrija Nikolic, por ejemplo,quedo encantada con el clima reinante y con el sermon de Juan Pablo II. "Fue hermoso! Lamento quealgunos conciudadanos mios no hayan concurrido a Petricevac. Lo unico que lespuedo decir, es que se perdieron mucho. Estoy profundamente conmovida por todolo visto y ahora creo que tras escuchar las palabras del Papa, uno regresa acasa siendo una persona totalmente diferente y mejor", dijo la senoraBozica Nikolic, de nacionalidad serbia, quien disfruto de la visita del Papahombro a hombro junto con croatas de Medjugorje, Busovaca y Zagreb. "Este es el mayoracontecimiento en nuestra vida", dijeron Sanja Komadina y Marina Cavar, dosperegrinas croatas que vinieron de Medjugorje. A pesar de que no habia sombradonde protegerse y que la temperatura subio a 30 grados, a cada paso podianverse mujeres vestidas en trajes tipicos de sus comarcas. Tras la misa, miles deperegrinos caminaron encolumnados alrededor de un kilometro hasta los autobusesque los llevarian de regreso. Los habitantes de la ciudad, en su mayoria serbios,salieron frente a la puerta de sus casas y contemplaban pacificamente pasar laprocesion de fieles. "Por supuesto que no memolesta su alegria y felicidad, porque que clase de persona seria yo si opinaselo contrario. Que canten y que disfrutan de la visita del Pontifice. Yo mismasaldre a la puerta cuando el Papa pase frente a mi casa. Estoy contentisima porel hecho que podemos dar la mejor imagen de Banja Luka", dijo NatasaMilosevic, serbia de Banja Luka. ================================================================= † ĐURO – ĐUKA – BORGHI Hoy -24 de junio de 2003 - falleció en Buenos Aires el querido Đuka Broghi,quien fuera activo miembro la comunidad croata de Buenos Aires; había nacido enCroacia en 1925.

NFCA Hosts Successful Croatian Wine Tasting on Capitol Hill
(Washington, D.C. - June 23, 2003) The National Federation of Croatian
Americans (NFCA) held a successful Croatian wine tasting event on Capitol Hill on
Monday, June 16 at the home of NFCA member Lucie Gikovich! Tony Butala, founder
of " The Lettermen" and a Napa Valley vintner served as the master of
ceremonies. NFCA friend and Congressman George Radanovich, a vintner from
California, was the special guest of honor at this event which was also attended by
Congressmen Walter Jones, Dana Rohrabacher, and Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey. There
were over 40 Croatian Americans and congressional guests that came out to
taste fine wines from Croatia, hear more about Croatian issues of interest and to
interact with Members of Congress.
This Capitol Hill event allowed NFCA members the opportunity to promote
Croatia and Croatian issues like membership in NATO to the many congressional
staffers in attendance. Deputy Ambassador Kresimir Pirsl, represented the Croatian
Embassy and thanked all the dignitaries and congressional guests for showing
their interest and support for Croatia. Congressman George Radanovich
welcomed everyone, shared his love for his ancestors's homeland and highlighted his
leadership and efforts on behalf of Croatia in the U.S. Congress. Steve
Rukavina, the past NFCA President said " I want to thank Congressmen Radanovich,
Jones, Rohrabacher, and Congresswoman Woolsey on behalf of the NFCA for their
strong support of Croatia and for attending this special wine tasting event. I am
very pleased that our dignitaries and guests were able to experience the fine
wines of Croatia and learn more about the many tourist attractions of Croatia
and it's long beautiful Adriatic coast line with over one thousand islands."
Tony Butala, was the featured speaker of the evening and entertained the
crowd with a few stories about his Croatian heritage, life as an entertainer and
vintner. The Croatian American originally from Sharon, PA, led the select
group through a wine tasting lecture and process that was enjoyable and
educational. "It is great to be in Washington, D.C. with old friends and meeting new
friends of Croatia in the process. It is always a pleasure to introduce more
Americans to the culture and history of Croatian winemaking that dates back to
the Roman times," said the Croatian American singer.
The Dingac wine from the Ivo Skaramuca Vineyards on Peljasac made from the
Plavac Mali grape was a real crowd pleaser as was the Nikola Bura Plavac brought
by Mike Babic of Vinum USA (Madison, NJ). Also, the fine Dingac and Postup
red wine sent down by Twice, Inc and also from Peljasac, was appreciated by all
in attendance. The Zlahtina wine from the Katunar winery on Krk and the
Grasevina wine from the Dakovacko winery were the favorite white wines on display.
This will be the first in a series of wine tastings that the NFCA will be
hold throughout the country to showcase Croatian wine and tourism. These events
will allow the NFCA to interact with local Croatian American communities
throughout the nation and increase awareness about the attractions of Croatian
tourism and the fine wines from Croatia.

"Resolution Marking the Significance of the United States - Adriatic Charter
Signing Passes U.S. House of Representatives with NFCA Support"
(Washington, D.C. June 30) The National Federation of Croatian Americans
(NFCA) heralds the passage of Engel Resolution (H. Con. Res. 209) commending the
signing of the United States-Adriatic Charter, a charter of partnership among
the United States, Albania, Croatia, and Macedonia, on June 23rd in the U.S.
House of Representatives. This legislation expresses the support of the U.S.
Congress for this Sense of Congress Resolution which was reported out the House
International Relations Committee on June 12 with the support of nearly
thirty co-sponsors.
U.S. Secretary of State Powell and the foreign ministers of Croatia,
Macedonia, and Albania signed the Charter on May 2, 2003, in the Albanian capitol of
Tirana. The Adriatic Charter and Engel Resolution were strongly supported by
the diplomatic community in Washington, including Dr. Ivan Grdesic the current
Ambassador to the U.S. and Mexico from the Republic of Croatia. NFCA President
John Kraljic's letter in full support of passage of the Resolution was
included in the debate in the Congressional Record by Rep. Elliot Engel (D-NY) as an
expression of Croatian-American support for the legislation. The Resolution
passed 381 - 1.
Under the Charter the nation-state signatories pledge to support the efforts
by Albania, Croatia, and Macedonia to join Euro-Atlantic institutions like
NATO and the European Union. The debate on the Floor of the U.S. House of
Representatives noted that the three aspiring nations commit themselves to accelerate
their democratic and defense reforms, protect human rights, implement
market-oriented economic policies, upgrade their border security so they can further
contribute to regional stability, and generally enhance their mutual
cooperation by signing this agreement. A copy of the Engel Resolution follows this
press release or can be obtained by contacting the NFCA Office in Washington,
D.C. The entire June 23, 2003, debate in the Congressional Record can be viewed
at www.gpo.gov/gpoaccess .
In the debate record, NFCA's John Kraljic noted that the "NFCA has long
supported the Republic of Croatia's request for membership in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO). We believe it is a natural and important extension
of Croatia's integration into important western security and related alliances
since the Republic's reestablishment as a viable nation-state over ten years
ago. Croatia is the most stable and economically developed country in the
southeastern Europe. Its democratic structure has been strongly established as
evidenced by three national elections since 1990. Croatia has a wide range of
political parties and a free and independent press. Economically, Croatia's Gross
Domestic Product is greater than that of most of its neighbors, some of whom
have already joined NATO. Furthermore, since the time Croatia claimed its
independence in the early 1990s, it has adopted American and NATO military
techniques. Croatia currently participates as full partner in the U.S. and NATO war on
international terrorism." Mr. Kraljic has vowed that the NFCA will continue
to strongly support Croatia's inclusion in NATO at the very first opportunity
that presents itself.
The NFCA is a Washington, D.C.-based national umbrella organization that
represents over 20 Croatian American groups and 130,000 members. NFCAhdq@aol.com

(E) Sri Lanka pledges to strengthen economic ties with Croatia
Sri Lanka pledges to strengthen economic ties with Croatia Foreign Minister Tyronne Fernando who visited Croatia last week pledged to strengthen bilateral trade relations with Croatia with the early conclusion of the Agreement on Investment Protection and Promotion. The Croatian Foreign Minister Tonino Picula accepted Minister Fernando's invitation to visit Sri Lanka in December this year with a business delegation in order to identify key areas of economic cooperation, a press release said. The two delegations also agreed to work towards the early conclusion of the Agreements on Air Services, Maritime Cooperation, Avoidance of Double Taxation and Cultural and Sports Cooperation. The Sri Lankan delegation expressed interest in promoting the sale of Ceylon tea, furniture and textile to Croatia while the Croatian side expressed interest in promoting their pharmaceutical products, shipbuilding and fisheries sectors. Minister Fernando also expressed interest in establishing linkages between the higher educational institutes and diplomatic academies of the two countries. The two Foreign Ministers discussed regional, international and other issues of mutual interest, including Croatia's proposed accession to the European Union in the future. During his meeting with the Croatian President, Minister Fernando referred to the similarities between Sri Lanka and Croatia both being small, democratic states strategically located to become the gateways to South Asia and the European Union respectively. During his meeting with the Deputy President of the Croatian Parliament, the Foreign Minister discussed among other issues, the possibility of exchange of Parliamentary Groups from the two countries. Sri Lanka and Croatia established diplomatic relations in 1997 and the Foreign Ministries of the two countries last year signed a Protocol on Consultations whereby the two sides agreed to maintain regular dialogue on matters of mutual interest. The Croatian Foreign Minister and the President undertook official visits to Sri Lanka in May 2001 and in November 2002 respectively.
