NATO STRIKES AT YUGOSLAVIA DON'T COMPLICATE SITUATION IN BOSNIA

SARAJEVO, March 25 (Hina) - Air strikes of the NATO alliance against military targets in Yugoslavia did not lead to any serious incidents in Bosnia-Herzegovina, including the Bosnian Serb entity, although there were some threats that it might have happened. United Nations spokeswoman in Bosnia, Keelly Moore, told Hina on Thursday that overnight three (3) incidents had happened doing damage to five UN vehicles. The incidents took place in Bijeljina, Doboj and Trebinje, towns in Bosnian Serb entity. In Trebinje one explosion was recorded but there were no injuries. The NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR) command in Sarajevo said the situation in the whole of Bosnia-Hercegovina was calm and there were no incidents overnight directed against NATO soldiers deployed in Bosnia. There were no incidents and we are continuing to monitor carefully the situation on the ground, SFOR spokeswoman Sheena Thomson said. The 'North' Multinational Division command, based in the city of Tuzla, reported on Wednesday night that additional security measures were being in effect in their bases. This division is made up mostly of Americans. The Television of Bosnia-Herzegovina covered NATO air operations against Yugoslavia during Wednesday night. Apart from transmitting CNN programme live, a satellite programme of the Serbian Television was also occasionally re-broadcast by the Sarajevo television. Television of the Bosnian Serb entity reported very little developments in Yugoslavia, conveying chiefly news items of agencies and broadcasting serious music. The Banja Luka-based Television broadcast live, almost until the midnight, yet another unsuccessful session of the parliament of the Serb republic. At the session, a leader of the Serb Democratic Party (SDS), Dragan Kalinic, called on the caretaker premier, Milorad Dodik, to give resignation "in solidarity with Serbia" and that a government of the national salvation should be established in the Bosnian Serb entity. However, Dodik rejected coolly such a proposal accusing Kalinic of demagogue and blamed indirectly Yugoslav President Milosevic with the escalation of the Kosovo crisis. Dodik said those in Serbia should have earlier thought of consequences which would be caused by the way in which they had tackled Kosovo for decades. During the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, many people used to dream of NATO military intervention in Yugoslavia and against Milosevic as the mastermind behind a plan for Bosnia's division. But, last night's NATO airstrikes against the neighbouring country did not cause euphoria. Most Moslem (Bosniak) and Croat leaders called for caution and calmness during the first hours since the beginning of the NATO action in Yugoslavia, with an explanation that what was going on was taking part in Bosnia's neighbourhood. "It is difficult to predict what will happen in the future, but it is certain that after NATO strikes nothing would appear as the same as before," said Haris Silajdzic, a co-chairman of the Bosnian Ministerial Council. The Sarajevo-based daily "Oslobodjenje" recounted in the editorial that ten years ago Milosevic had announced war during his notorious speech in Kosovo. The war is coming back from where it was launched, it added. "At last, bombs against the Balkan butcher," is a headline of the "Dnevni Avaz" daily marking the beginning of the NATO aerial bombardments. (hina) ms
