ONE SIDE OF TUZLA-DOBOJ ROAD UNBLOCKED

( Editorial: --> 9957 ) TUZLA, April 27 (Hina) - The International Police Task Force (IPTF) spokesman in Tuzla, Andrea Angeli, reported that at about 6pm this evening the Tuzla-Doboj road had been unblocked on the Serb entity side with help of the Nordic-Polish Brigade from SFOR's Sector North. "Prior to SFOR's action we had tried for several hours to negotiate the opening of the road to traffic but all efforts ended without results," said Angeli. He also said that SFOR planned to remove the blockade from the road on the Federation side during the night. The tunnel at the very entrance to Doboj, which is in the separation zone, was blocked last night. One side of the tunnel was blocked by Muslim refugees, the other by Serbian civilians.
