combat lines, but the so-called resistance points. The IFOR units
of the 4th British Armoured Brigade of the Multinational Brigade

km-long area separating the two parties.
This is only one of the areas in Bosnia-Herzegovina from where

Vitez HVO officials said.
Today's withdrawal had been carried out without incidents,
five days before the January 19 deadline, the same source said.
