WITHDRAWAL OF ALL PARTIES IN BOSNIA CONTINUES, IFOR SAYS

SARAJEVO, Jan 11 (Hina) - The withdrawal of military forces from the separation zones in Bosnia-Herzegovina was continuing, IFOR officials in Sarajevo said Thursday, adding there were some 30,000 NATO soldiers currently on the ground. #L# A four-kilometer withdrawal from the present separation lines should be completed by 19 January, officials in Sarajevo IFOR headquarters said, adding they expected that the deadline would be respected. Spokesman for the NATO Multinational Division for Sector South-East, Richard Pernod, said that French IFOR soldiers continued to monitor the withdrawal from around Sarajevo. The separation of forces is being carried out from the West, and so far the Bosnian army and Serb forces have completely withdrawn from separation lines near the suburbs of Mojmilo, Dobrinja, Ilidza, Vogosca and Rajlovac. IFOR continued searching for the perpetrator of Tuesday's tram attack in central Sarajevo, Colonel Pernod said. French soldiers have found in one of the residential buildings in the Serb- controlled suburb of Grbavica the barrel of the rocket-launcher the projectile had been fired from, but they still have not discovered the attacker. There are less NATO members on Sarajevo streets than in past few days. Four armoured vehicles have been positioned around the 'Holiday Inn' Hotel, while the tanks, positioned after the attack, have been withdrawn. (hina) rm 111253 MET jan 96
