CROATIA IS THE ONLY TO MEET COMMITMENTS ON WEAPONRY CONTROL - FOLE Y

Y SARAJEVO, June 6 (Hina) - To date, only Croatia had met its commitments form the Agreement on Weaponry Control in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, David Foley, spokesman for the mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation In Europe, told a press conference in Sarajevo on Friday. According to the agreement signed in Florence, Italy, on 14 June 1996, all signatory countries had the commitment to destroy the additional 3,700 pieces of heavy weaponry in the second part of the agreement's implementation (until 31 October). To date, only Croatia had done that, in April, Foley said. In the second part of the agreement's implementation, FRY must destroy about 1,000 pieces of weaponry, Foley said, assessing that the government in Belgrade showed readiness to meet the commitment. In doing so, the FRY Government would be assisted by expert teams from Italy and Great Britain, he added. Foley pointed out that a lot was left undone in Bosnia-Herzegovina as well. During the first part of the agreement's implementation, Serb entity authorities had attempted to abuse the provision on the possibility of retaining a certain amount of weaponry for education and research, but eventually submitted data on the weaponry, Foley said. Their commitment was to destroy an additional 1,000 pieces of weaponry, he added, pointing out that the destroying would be supervised by experts from France and Germany. The BH Federation began to fulfil its obligation from the second part of the agreement's implementation this week, Foley concluded. (hina) ha jn 061523 MET jun 97
