186 FLATS IN DRVAR RETURN TO SERB REFUGEES

( Editorial: --> 5913 ) DRVAR, Apr 9 (Hina)- In an action sponsored by High Commissioner, UNHCR and SFOR, 186 members of the FBH Army in Drvar, western BH, handed back the keys of the flats of Serb refugees they have been using since their legitimate tenants left the town. The keys are now in the custody of international organisations in the Drvar region. "We witnessed in Drvar today how the army vacated civilian buildings and 150 Serb refugees returned to the town", head of the High Commissioner's Mostar office Martin Garrod told the press. He described that as a case of actual implementation of Anex 7 of the Dayton peace accords, which deals with the return of refugees. According to deputy head of the Drvar municipality Drago Tokmacija, an organised return to Drvar of a large number of Serbs proves Croatia's readiness and cooperativeness in implementation of the Dayton accords. He said he hoped the Croats presently accomodated in Drvar would be allowed to return to their homes in Bosanska Posavina and in central Bosnia. Furthermore, the press was told that today UNHCR organised a visit to Teslic, 150 km north of Sarajevo, for 40 Croat refugees. Today's return of Serbs to Drvar has been incident free.
