WASHINGTON, Jan 3 (Hina) - The US administration on Wednesday
called for the immediate release of 16 Bosnian Moslem civilians
recently detained by Bosnian Serbs.
US State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns told a news
conference in Washington that the United States had made its
demand known to Bosnian Serb military commanders and Serbian
President Slobodan Milosevic.
Burns said that his country was very concerned about reports
of 16 people having been taken hostage.
The US charge d'affaires in Belgrade had been instructed to
raise the issue with Milosevic, he said, adding that IFOR
commander General Sir Michael Walker had already contacted
Bosnian Serb authorities.
Burns stressed that there was no element of the Dayton peace
agreement more central to the civilians in Bosnia-Herzegovina
than freedom of movement.
He said that such actions obstructed the implementation of
the agreement.
