SFOR WILL PREVENT ANTI-DAYTON ACTIVITIES - SAYS GENERAL ADAMS

SARAJEVO, May 9 (Hina) - The chief commander of NATO's Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH), General Ron Adams, on Tuesday announced new actions which should eliminate activities undermining the Dayton peace agreement. General Adams recalled "Westar", an action SFOR carried out in western Mostar in October 1999, resulting in the confiscation of several documents on Bosnian Croat secret service activity in the southern BH town. Sarajevo-based daily "Oslobodjenje" on Tuesday reported the United States general told reporters similar actions could be expected wherever there was activity directed against the implementation of the Dayton agreement. Adams confirmed a special team of experts was continuing to examine material seized during a search of a Bosnian Croat secret service headquarters in the western part of Mostar. He said it was not certain when the findings would be disclosed because the SFOR wanted to be able to carry out several other operations like "Westar". We have already done several things using information gathered during "Westar", even though we have not disclosed it, the SFOR commander said. Information disclosed after the documents seized in western Mostar were analysed indicated SFOR had found evidence on illegal following of prominent officials of international organisations active in BH by Bosnian Croat secret services, illegal partnership between secret services from Croatia and BH, and suspect financial transactions.
