The head of the Herzeg-Bosnian office for the exchange of
detainees and missing persons , Berislav Pusic, said Monday that
the Bosnian Army had freed 120 Serbs, and still detained 318. He
added that Bosnian Serb forces had released 68 Moslems, but another
151 Moslems and Croats were being still in Serb prisons.
Pusic said that Croats had released 39 Serbs, and handed 126
Serbs over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
"We have detained 50 Serbs on suspicion of war crimes.
However, this does not mean that they cannot be exchanged," the
Bosnian Croat official said.
