A spokesman for the International Red Cross in Sarajevo,
Jacques De Majo, stated that the Serbs brought 67 POWs to the
airport and the Bosnians 30. He added that the arrival of newly
released detainees was expected during the evening. In this case,
the International Red Cross is only overlooking the process of the
POWs' release. Majo warned that the deadline would most probably
not be kept.
Even if all detainees waiting to be set free at the airport
are released, there are still 750 people who are being held in
Moslem, Serb and Croat prisons in Bosnia, who should have been
released by Friday.
Judging by the situation, the first 30-day time limit for the
release of all detainees, set by the Dayton Agreement, will be
broken.
