GARROD SUPPORTS DEMILITARISATION OF WHOLE REGION

( Editorial: --> 1993 ) MOSTAR, March 24 (Hina) - The international community would like to see all of the region demilitarised and not only Bosnia- Herzegovina, the head of the regional office of the High Representative in Mostar, Martin Garrod, told a press conference in Mostar on Tuesday. Garrod was commenting on an initiative by the Croatian President Franjo Tudjman on demilitarisation of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Tudjman presented his initiative during his talks with the German and French foreign ministers in Zagreb last week. Everybody would like to see all of the region demilitarised, possibly Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, Garrod said. Garrod said he could not imagine only one state being demilitarised, adding he did not see the full version of Tudjman's proposal. (hina) rm /mb 241610 MET mar 98
