I'm forwarding this petition to DEVMEDIA.  It's from the former Yugoslavia.
It includes a bit of background information from a development worker,
journalist and friend stationed in Croatia.  I don't think it's contrary to
the rules of this list.  I hope you give it wide distribution.

Thank you.

Dan David
