CROATIAN ARMY INSPECTION VISITS YUGOSLAVIA

ZAGREB, Oct 25 (Hina) - For the first time after NATO's intervention in Kosovo, a Croatian armed forces armament control inspection team left for Yugoslavia Monday. Croatia and Yugoslavia are involved in a mutual control of armament in Croatia, Yugoslavia and both entities of Bosnia-Herzegovina in line with the Dayton Agreement and annexes on the control of armament. Following the start of NATO intervention in Yugoslavia, this country ceased all cooperation in the control of armament, and in mid-September the schedule of inspection teams was re-established at a meeting in Vienna, head of the Croatian inspection team, Zeljko Hosi, said. He said that the Yugoslav side had submitted recently to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mission some new data about their armament, including losses during the war in Kosovo and NATO's intervention. Accompanying Croatia's seven-member team are a Russian lieutenant- colonel and a Portuguese non-commissioned officer, for the OSCE. During the inspection they will visit several locations and check whether the Yugoslav side respected agreements on the control of armament. (hina) lml mm
