ANNAN HOLDS UN OBSERVERS SHOULD REMAIN ON CROATIA'S PREVLAKA

NEW YORK, April 14 (Hina) - Twenty-seven United Nations military observers should remain on Croatia's southernmost peninsula Prevlaka, UN Secretary-General said in his regular biannual report to the UN Security Council about the UN Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP).
NEW YORK, April 14 (Hina) - Twenty-seven United Nations military observers should remain on Croatia's southernmost peninsula Prevlaka, UN Secretary-General said in his regular biannual report to the UN Security Council about the UN Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP). #L# In a fairly brief report Annan described the situation on Prevlaka as "stable and calm". There has been no violation of the demilitarised zone. Monitors enjoy unrestricted freedom of movement, but Croatian authorities "continue to require UNMOP to provide advance written notice before undertaking foot or vehicle patrols in the northern part of the zone", Annan said. "The Croatian and Yugoslav (Montenegrin) crossing point at Debeli Brijeg remains open on a 24-hour basis, allowing the movement of civilians and commercial traffic" between the two countries, the report states. Annan criticised the fact that Croatia and Yugoslavia had not drafted comprehensive programmes of mine clearance in the UN- monitored area. "No talks have been held (since March 9, 1999) as Croatia has not extended to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia an invitation to attend a fifth round" of talks about a permanent solution to outstanding issues. Annan recalled that the Security Council members had recently received letters in which the Croatian and Yugoslav governments expressed their views, and added they "reflect substantially divergent views on the way ahead". The UN Secretary-General offered UNMOP's mediating services, but called on Security Council member-countries to, if they wish to do so, assist the continuation of negotiations and strengthening of mutual trust. The Prevlaka peninsula is within Croatia's internationally recognised borders. Yugoslavia has territorial pretensions, but Croatia is not consenting to a change in borders and is offering solutions in the form of permanent demilitarisation of the region, with which Yugoslavia does not agree. The "substantially divergent views", as mentioned by Annan, are indicated in defining the problem -- for Yugoslavia Prevlaka is a "territorial dispute", while Croatia deems it a security issue.
