DRVAR POLICE SUPERINTENDENT DISSATISFIED WITH SFOR BEHAVIOUR

DRVAR, 9 Oct (Hina) - The agreement reached yesterday between representatives of the international community in Bosnia- Herzegovina and local authorities in Drvar was not respected by the Stabilisation Force which refused to remove check-points outside the village of Martin Brod in Drvar municipality on Thursday, Drvar police superintendent Ivan Jurcevic said. According to Jurcevic, displaced Croats, accommodated in Martin Brod, were without food for the third day, while Serb returnees in the village were being regularly supplied with food by SFOR members. Today's attempt of Drvar bishop and Red Cross members to bring food to displaced Croats was unsuccessful because barricades had been put up outside Martin Brod and SFOR patrols were controlling all roads leading to the village, Jurcevic said. SFOR units had also searched members of Drvar police administration at the checkpoints outside Martin Brod, he added. (hina) rm 100019 MET oct 97
