The command of NATO's Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in Bosnia-
Herzegovina last Thursday confirmed that a movement and training
ban came into force on January 26 for units of the Croatian Defence
Council (HVO).
According to a statement the SFOR issued that day, the measure was
introduced because the HVO, the Croat component of the army of
Bosnia's Croat-Muslim Federation, did not comply with SFOR
commanders' earlier set demands and instructions.
The HVO refused to submit information requested by the SFOR, a rule
which is mandatory for all entity armies in Bosnia, the same source
said then.
