Prognaničke priče - o budućnosti i suživotu
Refugees' Stories - About Future and Joint Life

Summary/Abstract: The article is made up of the pieces of personal narratives of the refugees from war-struck regions of Croatia, currently living in Zagreb. The authors have presented attitudes of the refugees concerning the return to their homesteads, and especially to reconcilement, neighbourhood and collective and personal forgiving. The majority of the accounts bear witness to the distrust of refugees not only towards those neighbours who were directly involved in war atrocities but also to those who participated indirectly as taciturn and passive observers. However, the refugees reject to respond to hatred with hatred. While this text may not be representative because it is based on a number of personal accounts, it is, nevertheless, a powerful testimony to current feelings of the people who suffered the most in the course of the 1991/92 war in Croatia.
