... there used to be an agreement between Cro-gvt and
us (diaspora ) that there should be an independent
Croatia, that Croatia was a victim of Serbian
expansion, and that ideas "all sides gulilty", "Croats
are fascists etc were lies and propaganda. That
'concensus' has been shattered.
All within 2 years. What will happen in the next 2
years, and how do we respond? Brian>>

Dear Brian and all,

I am too tired to write a detailed discussion report tonight in English
on the discussion last night in Zuerich, but the essence is clear
and stated (incompletely below); I will write longer version
probably in Croatian later on as soon as I fully recover ...

There were some 40-50 people and Ms Hloverka Srzic (HTV deputy
director) was the brilliant moderator and Dr. Mate Granic, the only Zgb
politician present, made an introductory speach and replied to many questions
(just like several others, myself included who were at the
''high'' table; everything was recorded by the camera that was there ) ...

As Dr. M. Granic is experienced, and his brother is with Racan,
he could hardly refuse to transfer our messages to Zagreb,
so, we have directly ''charged'' him (he agreed) with several tasks
given below; BTW off the record he told us stories on
the Dayton, and many oter negotiations that place the
whole recent history in a somewhat different perspective
yet that shows that Racan et. al., including his brother
Goran, have failed in their part in establishing better and more
prosperous Croatia and a true national concensus on our future ...

Following Granic I was asked to summarize your/our ideas
from the Internet, as well as my own vision and analysis
and possibilities of Croatia in the 21st knowledge-century ,,,
I will not repeat it here as I write often to all of you
and I will just say, that I clearly stated what are you/we discussing
lately here and I gave Hlovorka the list of several goals
that are gradually emerging after John's Montreal talk ...
and subsequent discussions ... etc ...

''Diaspora'': as Sito-Coric emphasized and we all agreed
we used the term 'izvandomovinski Hrvati' for Croats
worldwide, yet there was a special discussion on the
BiH problem (their representative was there, so was Dr.
Spoljaric from Croatian Embassy in Bern)

We all agreed to try to avoid the word diaspora
(for several reasons; one is that in the 3rd millennium
the space-time notions and the Croatian population correlations
will not just be ''two-dimensional''; ((sorry, but couldn't resist :-)

Few other members of the panel emphasized the problems
of corruption and inefficiency as well as the problem of the
mentality (Oswin Gaupp) ... and in almost 4 hours of
non-stop discussion at least 20 people joined with
questions or suggestions (I have 7 pages of notes ...);
in general there were too many discussions of the past
and past mistakes, so people in the audience asked
again that we all better focus on the future.

So, what we charged M. Granic with is roughly this
(we will send it to all other politicians too and especially
will make pressure groups on the HDZ as well as Racan's SDP,
as we simply had enough of all the political 'circus' in Zagreb):

i) This government has no program or policy concerning Croatians
outside Croatia and we all had enough of that; moreover,
they are not qualified and that comes from foreign ambassadors
in Croatia and even the West experts agree.

Actually I knew things were bad, yet I didn't know they were
THAT bad ... and the number of testimonies was overwhealming
to the extent that I had to ocasionally defend the present
government and point out 2-3 good things that they did.

Anyway, it was clear from what we heard that Racan's gvt
days are numbered ... So, let's replace them.

Ideally with people that are more qualified and roughly 'centrist':
that means those who understand what is just PLAIN LOGIC
in running a normal coherent Croatian State within the world context
(and who are not crooks or extremest in the wrong way etc).

ii) The expectation is that the next election will be by summer 2002
and that the coalition of centirst parties will get in.

If Budisa takes over again the HSLS, leaves the Racan coalition
and joins with the HSS, DC ... and a new arrangement is made
with the HDZ then it's feasible that by summer or the autumn
2002 we see the political change in Zagreb.

iii) The new government (a reasonable coalition but definitely without
those who finance our direct and proclaimed enemies) will
have to act according to the principles that we have already
discussed in our forums:

- improvement of the functioning (NON-corrupted) state and emphasis on
the genuine enterpreneurship and spiritual and economic recovery
- true policy toward the BiH and with Croatian people worldwide
- active role of the HTV in altering the bolshevist mentality in Croatia
... establishing medium and long term starategy.

Moreover, read this:

A minimum NATIONAL CONCENSUS on national priorities
with a clear bottom line that DOES NOT change:
so that Racan et al fiascos like Piran bay, Prevlaka, the Hague-mistreatments,
or selling of Croatian banks to Italians (who almost by now
could keep Croatia as their demi-colony) ...

As I said I informed them on what you are trying to achieve in the North
America and there was a special, wise discussion on BiH, on Croatian
catastrophic economy (bring the experts in and finally some strategy),
on the Church and present conflics between the government
and the Archbishop conference ...

Anyway, it was 10 pm when skillful moderator, Ms Hlovorka Srzic
concluded these discussions ...

My own additional remarks are here:

In comparison with us here (''the Internet lot'') this was ''low-tech'' group
and only Hlovorka Srzic uses the Net and/or one or two engineers, so
NOTE that Croatians in Europe and Croatia are way behind the north
American Internet ''culture'' and techno-approaches ... in general.

I have heard and/or figured out things that I cannot possibly publish
here and that I will cautiously gradually disctribute by ''osmosis''
but the essence is that we really have to beware of various media
just as we have to beware of the foreign power-centers
or our proclaimed enemies.

It was and is evident from what M. Granic said that the USA
IS absolutely CRUCIAL power and that what happened in a war
and in the Dayton peace ... is the deal esentially with Washington.

That dramatically emphasizes your role in the USA (I, for one, was aware
of that) and the lobbying in Washington will simply be implemented
by the next government. If not we better create a havoc ...

Besides, the problem with the '90s UK government and how to send them
to the Hague, is a special discussion that we should not abandon soon.

Dr. Mate Granic couldn't resist to gain few political points on my
provocation-statement that even if he would win the next elections
and become the Prime-minister, I would express my condolences
as neither him nor anyone else among them (in Zagreb) have any
serious economic strategy ... there is 1 Croat in 5 working etc ...

He stated a number of tough tasks that he personally negotiated
during the war (I admit that the list is impressive), or several crisis
when over 1 weekend 250 000 refugies came to Croatia ...
so, he made a point that even if the next government may not
be an ideal government or solve all the problems, that a
reasonable coalition with a minimal national concensus
should at least DO BETTER than what we have now ...

Although you all know how sceptical am I of any politician's
statements, I admit that M. Granic this time convinced me at least
that much: if Budisa, Tomcic and Granic manage to formulate
''the middle, civilized way'' and a working coalition that will not
allow that some BASIC VALUES and Crotian self-respect
change each 3-4 years, when SDP or HDZ dominated governments
exchange power ('cause these get roughly up to 30% each) ...
then there is some hope for more stable future in Croatia.

It will be interesting to see how will HDZ politically profile
itself in the following few months, yet according to what
I heard last night (and from what I knew from my sources)
there is some serious soul-searchig going on within the
HSS and HSLS ... wait and see ...

And now I need some rest from all this politics :-I

Dear Nenad,

This is the news for publishing on your net.
Since many Croatians in USA are Democratic Party members, it would be only
logical that some of "Croatian Kids" apply for this opportunity. I MEAN FROM
BOTH SIDE: IZ HRVATSKE and from abroad. Unfortunately, I personally have no
connection with the fund, and cannot influence any decision. But I urge all
interested to apply.

From the Boston Globe - it's buried in the story. John Kraljic

Plymouth offers a Thanksgiving twist

By Robert Knox, Globe Correspondent, 11/15/2001

LYMOUTH - To Lynne Wilkinson, the message of autumn and Thanksgiving is

renewal and hope. The director of the a cappella chorus Persephone's

Daughters has prepared ''Autumn Leaves,'' a program of songs and

readings, to celebrate those values.

Included are lines like these from ''November Morning'' by Elizabeth

Tarbox: ''Perhaps the spirit that moves the bird to flight also moves in

us to commit love in response to anger, and kindness where there has

been killing.''

''Autumn Leaves'' will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Plymouth's

First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church. It is part of the town's

daylong ''Home to Thanksgiving'' celebration, a series of open houses

and special events.

Historic houses and local museums will be open all day, and a 4 p.m.

candlelight vigil at Plymouth Rock will include band music and a talk by

the Rev. Peter Gomes, a Harvard professor and Plymouth native.

The 50-voice women's chorus Persephone's Daughters is based on a

traditional African style of learning music. Rather than reading music,

the singers learn songs line by line and phrase by phrase by copying the

leader's singing. The method, taught by Ysaye Barnwell of Sweet Honey in

the Rock, focuses on building a vocal community by teaching music

orally.

Wilkinson, who is classically trained and sings with Boston Cecilia, was

inspired by other women's choruses and studied the oral method in

workshops.

''The idea is to make music accessible to all women who want to sing,''

Wilkinson said last week. ''You're teaching everything orally, so they

don't have to be able to read music. It's a way for women to build

community through singing and to experience other cultures through

music.'' The group rehearses on Thursday nights.

The concert Saturday will be divided into two parts, ''Autumn'' and

''Harvest Home,'' the English name for the custom that became America's

Thanksgiving. The first half, Wilkinson states in a press release for

the concert, ''explores the message of renewal and hope through the

turning of the seasons.'' The music includes an African chant, the songs

''We are Strong Women'' and ''The Moon is a Cradle,'' a Croatian harvest

song, and a solo performance of ''Seasons of Peace.''

The late Elizabeth Tarbox, a South Shore Unitarian Universalist

minister, published two books of meditations. ''November Morning''

reflects on whether the wild goose knows that the hunter awaits.

''Perhaps the bird knows and flies on,'' Tarbox wrote in the meditation

that will be read at ''Autumn Leaves'' by a chorus member. ''Perhaps the

bird knows what we know, that the world is a place of beauty, and of

madness, of violence, and of compassion.''

The seasons teach the wisdom, and the solace, of ''turning,'' Wilkinson

said. Even with the coming of winter, she said, the message of turning

is hope and understanding. It is a message the director of Persephone's

Daughters finds particularly relevant after the Sept. 11 attacks, and a

theme Plymouth organizers sought to embody in the events of Saturday's

''Home to Thanksgiving.''

The event was scheduled for the Saturday before Thanksgiving when town

leaders learned that the annual Thanksgiving parade would not be held

this year. Parade organizers complained of a lack of local support.

After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the town added a candlelight

vigil to the day, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Town church bells will ring, the

high school band will play, and the eloquent Gomes will frame some words

on ''Hope and Thanksgiving.''

Hope and Thanksgiving figure in the ''Autumn Leaves'' concert too. In

lines written by the late Unitarian Universalist minister Raymond

Baughan, the speaker asks the falling leaves, ''Teach me to turn/ My

sullen sense toward marvel.''

The second part of the concert will include a round to be taught the

audience and sung in four languages - English, Hebrew, Latin, and German

- and several versions of the 23d Psalm. A chorus member will recite the

psalm, and the chorus will sing the Bobby McFerrin version. It will also

include a Native American song and a reading from a famous Shawnee

chief, Tecumseh.

The concept of learning from the seasons to deal with the ups and downs

of life underlies the chorus's name. In Greek mythology, Persephone is

the daughter of Earth goddess Demeter. Her abduction by the god of the

underworld ultimately brings about the seasons, after Demeter freezes

the earth in a permanent winter. In a deal brokered on Mount Olympus,

Persephone is permitted to return to her mother, but must spend four

months each year underground. Persephone's Daughters hopes to nourish

the souls of listeners by teaching the genuinely spiritual importance of

going with the flow.

The proceeds of the concert will go to the town's No Place for Hate

Committee, created last year to promote tolerance and diversity.

Tickets, $10 for adults; $5 for seniors, students, and children, will be

available at the door.

Terror Follows Immigrants to America

By ABBY ELLIN

mmigrants who came to America to escape strife-torn nations and start

businesses in the homeland of entrepreneurship are suddenly facing some of

the same fears they had fled. They came here from the Middle East, from the

former Soviet bloc, from Africa, from Latin America. They left so they would

never again have to worry about governments regulating their every move or

bombs exploding in the streets or mustard missiles slamming into their

homes.

And that is precisely what has made the last two months so painful for so

many of them: it is as if terror has followed them around the world.

In 1979, after the shah was ousted and Islamic militants seized American

hostages, Jeniette Melamed fled Iran for the United States. Ms. Melamed,

then the 20- year-old daughter of a Tehran tailor, objected to the new

regime's harsh religious rhetoric and its curbs on freedom and yearned for a

country that would let her pursue her entrepreneurial instincts. Even more,

she longed for a stable and free society in which to live.

She got both. Arriving in New York with little money and even less English,

she moved to Los Angeles and became a hostess at an International House of

Pancakes, working her way through school. In 1982, she and her new husband,

Hamid, moved back to New York and she opened a beauty salon with four

employees on Fourth Avenue. The business has since grown into a day spa on

East 13th Street with 25 employees, most of them recent immigrants. "I could

not have had this business in Iran," she said.

Like untold millions of other Americans, Ms. Melamed, 43, has also

discovered the serenity of suburbia. She lives in a three- bedroom home on a

tree-lined street in Brookfield, N.Y., with Hamid, a grocer and owner of a

Middle Eastern restaurant in Roslyn, and her two children, aged 14 and 10.

She drives a Mercedes and the family takes an annual vacation in February,

usually in Puerto Rico.

For more than two decades, Ms. Melamed could not read about the warfare and

political upheavals of the Middle East without shuddering - and thanking God

that she had escaped it all, even though she says she still loves and misses

her homeland.

Then came Sept. 11 - and suddenly she brushed up against the horror that she

thought she had left behind forever. She was on the Long Island Rail Road

commuting to work when she heard about the planes that hit the World Trade

Center; she arrived at her shop in time to see the second building collapse.

She sent her staff home and waited to make sure they were safe before she

left. Since then, she has been gripped by crying jags and smoke-filled

nightmares.

"For many years I told my kids: `This is the best country. We are free. We

are wonderful; anyone can be president. In the United States, if you're not

lazy, you'll never go hungry.' "

"Now, though, it's tough," Ms. Melamed said. "I'm afraid for my kids, for

their futures. It's not fair. They took the flavor out of New York."

Her sister, Rosa Melamed, 46, who like Jeniette, uses her maiden name, has

made the same emotional journey. She moved to New York in 1988 with her

husband and young daughter after Iraqi missiles shattered her country.

"America was the house of hope, the land of promise," she said.

Then, for a few minutes on Sept. 11, she thought she was back home in Iran.

"Everyone was going crazy and I said, `Don't cry, it's normal,' " she

recalled. "Then I realized for me it was normal, it was normal in Iran, but

for everyone else it wasn't."

John Ivanac experienced a similar role reversal. Mr. Ivanac made his way to

the United States in 1966 at 26 to escape the communism and economic

stagnation of his native Croatia, then part of communist- ruled Yugoslavia.

Ten years ago, Mr. Ivanac was frantically telephoning his relatives in

Croatia during the war with Serbia, not knowing if the calls would get

through or even if anyone was alive to pick them up.

But on Sept. 11, the calls flooded in the opposite direction from his

relatives to his two Midtown Manhattan restaurants, Villa Berulia and Trio.

"For three weeks, I've been so depressed," Mr. Ivanac said. The attacks on

the World Trade Center, he said, "affected me more than the war in Croatia.

"I knew there was a war there, and when there is a war, whether you like it

or not, someone's going to die," he added. "But this wasn't a war; this was

a regular working day." Since then, he said, his business is down 30

percent.

Some visitors from troubled foreign lands are even wondering if it would be

safer to go back home. Wahila Alam, a 28-year-old Pakistani physician, came

to New York a year ago to work as an H.I.V.-treatment project researcher

with Doctors of the World, a humanitarian organization that deploys medical

professionals both here and abroad.

When she arrived, Dr. Alam thought she had left behind the fears and

uncertainties endemic in countries like Pakistan that are in perpetual

political turmoil. But for eight hours on Sept. 11, she was unable to locate

her husband, who worked as a transportation engineer three blocks from the

trade center.

"I was terrified," she said. "When I found out he was safe I thanked God,

but afterward you're scared. What's next? Is it safe to be here? Is it

really worth staying here?"

She has decided to do so. And other long- time immigrants who have taken

American citizenship say they are not plagued by such doubts and trumpet

their patriotism.

"This is by far the greatest country in the world," said George Feldenkreis,

the chairman and chief executive of Perry Ellis International (news/quote),

the Miami-based maker of men's clothing. Mr. Feldenkreis, a Cuban Jew, came

to Florida in February 1961, two months before the Bay of Pigs invasion. He

remembers a world where bombs exploded in Havana restaurants, friends were

arrested for speaking out against the government and soldiers gripped

machine guns while standing guard. And that was the country his parents had

chosen as a haven after they fled persecution in the Ukraine.

"The Americans have been very lucky that we have been able to have a very

free country with unlimited movement," he said. "The U.S. is one of the few

countries in the world that has never been touched. We are all very

concerned that our way of life will be changed forever. But I've lived

through situations in life and I tell my son, `This too shall pass. We'll

get used to it.' "

Op-edWe need 30 letters to The New York Times.Click Here: Crown Home PageDear Nenad:The January 13, 2001, New York Times article on passing of Cyrus Vance is once again forgery of history in the part of his dealings with Croatia. For that reason it deserves to be lauded on your network. His role in negotiations in dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia was nearsighted, and outright pro-Serbian. United Nations peace keeping force did not "disarm warring militias", as said article stated, but rather it had helped Serbia to easier control occupied territories within Croatia. Mr. Vance was personally responsible for executions of wounded defenders in The Vukovar Hospital, after the Serbian militia and Yugoslav Army overrun it in November 1991. For that role alone he should have been indicted by ICTY in the Haag, as coconspirator in the slaughter of defenseless civilians and wounded defenders. I for one cannot forget the picture of a young girl begging Mr. Vance to help, and he only kept smiling. (as seen on HRTV). Would be wise to send as many protest letters to The New York Times as possible. I am sending this one, somewhat changed. Best regards, DocMaric@aol.comBellow is the only paragraph related to Mr. Vance's engagement with Croatia:"After his return to private practice, Mr. Vance was repeatedly called back to the public arena to use his quiet negotiating skills on some of the bloodiest conflicts of the 1980's and 1990's: in the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia; in South Africa; and in a disintegrating Yugoslavia. There, he successfully negotiated a cease-fire in Croatia to allow a United Nations peacekeeping force to enter and disarm warring militias." Subj: RE: DEATH OF CYRUS R.
