BOSNIAN SERBS RESIST NON-SERBS IN ENTITY POLICE

( Editorial: --> 2158 ) SARAJEVO, June 18 (Hina) - Officials of the International Police Task Force (IPTF) have begun negotiations with representatives of Bosnian Serb entity authorities to initiate procedures for accepting non-Serb policemen in the Bosnian Serb Interior Ministry, the spokesman of the UN mission in Bosnia Aleksandar Ivanko said in Sarajevo Thursday. IPTF deputy commander Marc Crooker discussed the matter with Bosnian Serb Interior Minister Milorad Stankovic Tuesday, without results. In line with decisions the Peace Implementation Council reached in Luxembourg recently, the Bosnian Serb Interior Ministry must accept at least 500 policemen of Muslim and Croat nationality by August 31. The ultimate goal is to adjust the Bosnian Serb police structure with results from the 1991 census by year's end. (hina) ha jn 181638 MET jun 98
