WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Hina) - US Administration is still unsatisfied
as some provisions of the peace agreement in Bosnia-Herzegovina
have not been carried out. #L#
"We are not satisfied, since the parties failed to implement
main provisions - the release of all detainees and departure of all
foreign troops," a State Department spokesman, Nicholas Burns, said
on Thursday.
Therefore US Secretary of State Warren Christopher will raise
these issues at meetings with Bosnia's and Serbia's Presidents
Alija Izetbegovic and Slobodan Milosevic respectively, during his
tour to the Balkans.
Burns added that Christopher would meet Croatian President
Franjo Tudjman and Foreign Minister Mate Granic in Zagreb for talks
about the reintegration of eastern Slavonia. This topic would be
also discussed at the talks with Milosevic.
Burns said that the US Administration believed that there were
still prisoners detained secretly in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
In respect to prisoners that are still being detained with
explanation that they are war crimes suspects, the US
Administration considers that following short investigations such
detainees should be handed over to the International War Crimes
Tribunal in The Hague.
