    [05] TERROR RAGING IN VELIKA KLADUSA

    At the territory of Western Bosnia, cruel political and all other kind of terror is ruling and nobody tries to stop that. During the last few days, there were tens of bombings, property destroying, fires, demolition and physical abuse.

    This is happening in the part of Bosnia that during the war tried to keep neutral. This was enabled to Mr. Fikret Abdic, the leader of this part of Bosnia, by the Republic of Srpska Krajina, Republic of Srpska and Croatia, and was severely denied by Sarajevo. The Fifth Corps of the B&H Army, a year ago, violently attacked this area and since then the revenge never stops. The terror rages not only in Kladusa, but in many other places under the control of the Government in Sarajevo, since the ruling Party of Democratic Action most often uses terror as their tactics, said Professor Mico Carevic from Banja Luka. It all began when the Moslem troops of the Fifth Corps started burning down the Moslem villages, till then unimaginable fact. The situation in Kladusa is now being described as helpless, since the IFOR Forces do not show any good will to protect the endangered population. This is also the subject of the statement made by Mr. Irfan Saracevic , one of the representatives of the opposing party, the Democratic National Community, that the SDA intends to establish an Islamic state that will give Europe an headache. Croatia, extending hospitality to Mr. Abdic, obviously has its calculation on the Western Bosnia, but at the moment this is not helping those people. It is difficult to understand why any of the representatives of the peace and humanitarian organizations do not go there, including Ms Elisabeth Renn personally. (Vecernje novosti, Oct. 10, 1996)

    [06] THE COALITION BROKEN IN ZENICA

    The Representatives of the Croatian Democratic Community in the Assembly of the Zenica canton, left yesterday the constitutive session of the canton, since the quality in adopting vital decision was not guaranteed to them, reported the Croat radio Herzeg- Bosnia. The Leadership of Croatian Democratic Community of Zenica, strongly objected to the Moslems having appointed the commander of the Third Corps of the Moslem Army, Sakib Mahmulyanin as the election list bearer, sine Mahmulyanin is the most responsible that the mujahedins and other foreign mercenaries are still staying in this territory. Paying no attention to the absence of HDZ representatives, the Moslem held the constitutive session of the Zenica canton assembly and all by themselves elected the officials. The Croats, from the same reason, left the constitutive session of the Sarajevo Cantonal Assembly last week. (Vecernje novosti, Oct. 10. 1996)
