NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA
SARAJEVO - In the Brcko area, the Muslims an Croats opened 19 prisoner
camps - from the "Interplet" factory in Boderiste to the coffee bar in
Maoca - for their Serb neighbours, writes "Politika Ekspres" and adds that
the main Muslim witnesses in the Rome session of the Arbitration Commission
- Semso Sakovic and Mijo Antic - tried to hide it. "They were direct
participants in the persecution of Serbs, and seemed to believe that
justice is unreachable, because they played a role of victims in Rome.
"
BERLIN - One of the most influential Institutes in Germany, "Endowment,
Science and Politics", issued several interesting studies on prospects of
peace in the former Yugoslavia, concluding that the international community
has no resolution for the deadlock in the political process as yet, so it
is necessary that NATO forces remain in the region until the last point of
the political agreement is implemented.
AMSTERDAM - The Dutch daily papers from Drenten and Hroningen and Dutch
state TV paid significant attention to involvement of Dutch mercenaries in
crimes the Croatian army has committed against the Serbs in the Republic of
the Srpska Krajina. In the reconstruction of the events, journalist Rob
Sibelnik and Rob Trip claimed that "a special Dutch-Croat terrorist unit
seized on September 9, 1993, the first strategic point, the "Roglici"
Bridge, during which operation none has noted or stopped them". They said
that the small number of Serb soldiers was dispersed through the area, and
did not represent a danger for them".
LONDON - The former Yugoslav president, Borislav Jovic, warned the
president of Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic, that his party would break-up if
he fails to recognise the opposition victory in some cities of Serbia. In
an interview for the newest edition of "Guardian", Jovic proposes to
president Milosevic either recognition of the electoral results or
compromise with the opposition. "I do not believe that Milosevic is
psychologically ready to understand his mistakes and to correct them",
added Jovic.
STOLAC - Croatian civilians blocked the bridge in the centre of Stolac,
thus preventing Muslim refugees from return into this city, reports AFP.
About 300 to 400 Croat protestants, among whom a fair number of women and
children, gathered at the bridge and blocked the way for convoy.
BEOGRAD - Nineteen Members of a Ustashe terrorist group, which entered the
area of Bugojno in 1972 in order to "organise the Croatian up-rise" and
which was destroyed after a brief fight, will be decorated by Croatian
president Franjo Tudjman personally, writes Belgrade's "Vecernje Novosti".
