CHRONOLOGY OF UN TRANSITIONAL ADMINISTRATION FOR EASTERN SLAVONIA

( Editorial: --> 4053 ) ZAGREB, 13 Jan (Hina) - The success of the U.N. Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) is a "positive precedent for peace in the whole territory of the former Yugoslavia", UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said in his latest report on UNTAES on 4 December, 1997. On the basis of this report and this estimation, the United Nations Security Council has confirmed that the U.N. mandate in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium ends on 15 January 1998. UNTAES was established as a U.N. mission on 15 January 1996 with a one-year mandate with a possibility of extension for another year. Its task was to actively support the implementation of the Basic Agreement on Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium, which was signed by representatives of the Croatian Government and local Serbs from the Croatian Danube River region on 12 November 1995 in Erdut and Zagreb. We are issuing a chronology of the most important decisions of the international community on the peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danube River region, which provides an insight into the course and results of the two-year mandate of UNTAES. Year 1995 ---------- 22 November - The U.N. Security Council in New York adopts Resolution 1023 which welcomes the Basic Agreement on Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium, which was signed in Erdut and Zagreb on 12 November by representatives of the Croatian Government and local Serbs from the Croatian Danube River region. The Security Council commits to urgently decide on the establishment of a transitional administration and international force in that region in accordance with a request contained in the Basic Agreement. The Resolution also confirms Croatia's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and emphasises "in this regard that the territories of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium...are integral parts of the Republic of Croatia". Year 1996 ---------- 15 January - The U.N. Security Council in New York adopted Resolution 1037, which establishes the U.N. Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES). The initial, 12- month mandate envisages two components. The military component is aimed at demilitarising the region, controlling the safe return of displaced people and refugees and maintaining peace and security in the region. The civil component is aimed at forming and training a temporary police force, establishing administration and public services, and organising elections, following the implementation of commitments assumed by the sides involved and stimulating the restoration of trust among the local population. The civil part also includes cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). 7 January - Retired US General Jacques Paul Klein was appointed U.N. Transitional Administrator for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium. 31 January - The U.N. Security Council in New York adopts Resolution 1043 and decides to send 100 military observers for a period of six months to Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium, following a letter by the U.N. Secretary General on 26 January 1996 to the Security Council President. February - Demilitarisation of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium begins, in line with Resolution 1037 of the U.N. Security Council. 30 June - With Resolution 1069, the U.N.

Security Council Presidential Statement calls for the completion of preparations for local elections in Eastern Slavonia on 13 April. 8 May - The Security Council calls for immediate establishment of newly- elected bodies of authority in the Croatian Danube River region. 26 June - The OSCE Permanent Council adopts decision Nr 176, establishing a permanent mission for Croatia with a special task of monitoring the peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danube River region. For its new role the OSCE will increase the number of its representatives from 14 to 250 at the most until the expiry of the UNTAES mandate on 15 January 1998. The decision extends the mandate of the OSCE Mission in Croatia until 31 December 1998, and envisages assistance and monitoring in the application of Croatian laws, agreements and commitments assumed by the Croatian authorities in relation to the two-way return of all displaced people and refugees, protection of their rights and rights and protection of members of national minorities. According to its mandate, the OSCE Mission is to provide special recommendations to the Croatian authorities and in case of urgent matters consults the Permanent Council. 14 July - With Resolution 1120 the U.N.

Security Council calls on the Croatian Government to meet important preconditions for the take-over of executive authority in the Croatian Danube River region. With a Presidential Statement the Croatian Government is called to fulfill the obligations it had taken over and remove administrative and legal obstacles to the two-way return of displaced people and refugees, take action to establish effective bodies of local authority and secure the payment of pension allowances to all users. The Security Council calls on Croatia to start a program of national reconciliation throughout the country, prevent media attacks on ethnic groups, completely implement the Amnesty Law and cooperate with the ICTY. 15 October - The withdrawal of the majority of UNTAES military forces starts in line with a decision of the U.N.

Security Council confirms the end of the UNTAES mandate as of 15 January 1998 and entrusts a group of 180 civil police observers in the Croatian Danube River region with a nine-month mandate, starting on 16 January. The police observers are to monitor the work of the Croatian police, especially in relation to the return of displaced people, following a recommendation by the U.N. Secretary General and a request by the Croatian Government. The Croatian Government, police and judiciary are considered responsible for security and respect of civic rights; Croatia is called to implement the obligations it had taken over: economic reconstruction of the region, two-way return of displaced people, implementation of the Amnesty Law. The Serb community is called to cooperate and actively participate in the process of reintegration and national reconciliation - the key role of the OSCE is welcomed.
