UNHCR REPORTS NEW INCIDENTS IN SOUTHERN B&H MUNICIPALITIES

( Editorial: --> 5386 ) MOSTAR, May 20 (Hina) - The head of the UNHCR office in Mostar on Wednesday said five Bosniak (Muslim) homes had been destroyed last weekend in two Croat-controlled municipalities in southern Bosnia- Herzegovina. Neill Wright told a press conference that two Bosniak homes had been mined and blown up in the Capljina area, while three Bosniak homes had been set on fire in the Stolac municipality. He expressed disappointment with the inability of cantonal interior ministries and local police to prevent such incidents. Wright said the incidents were part of an intimidation campaign. The UNHCR's Mostar office head said 25 Bosniaks had returned on Monday to the southern city's suburb of Pijesci. The suburb is located in a Mostar municipality with a majority of Croat residents.
