LIVNO, June 10 (Hina) - The Government of Herzeg-Bosnian Canton (in
the Croat-Moslem entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina) on Thursday most
severely condemned an incident which had occurred on June 6 when
unknown persons of the Serb descent opened fire at policemen of
Drvar Police Station patrolling in Repovac, disarmed them,
insulted and returned them to Drvar (180 kilometres west of
Sarajevo).
Drvar uniformed crime policemen and workers of the "Sumarija"
company were suddenly attacked while they were carrying out a
regular control of the situation in Repovac where wood has recently
been cut for inhabitants in the other Bosnian entity - the Republic
of Srpska.
This armed attack disturbed the entire canton and particularly
Drvar and Glamoc, municipalities by the inter-entity border. The
entrance of armed men from the Republic of Srpska into the territory
of Bosnia's Federation is a violation of the inter-entity border
and a dangerous precedent in the post-Dayton period, read a
statement of the Herzeg-Bosnian cantonal government, released in
Livno.
It also warned that such Serb acts could jeopardise the return of
refugees and affect the confidence building in this canton.
