U.S. MEDIATOR HOLBROOKE ARRIVES IN SARAJEVO

SARAJEVO, Feb 11 (Hina) - Chief architect of the Bosnian peace accord arrived in Sarajevo Sunday to try to remove obstacles in the implementation of the peace plan which had emerged during last week. On arrival to the Bosnian capital, where he was to meet Bosnian government officials and the IFOR commanding officers, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke told reporters he had accepted another mission upon request by U.S. President Bill Clinton, State Secretary Warren Christopher and Defence Secretary William Perry. #L# "We are here to ensure full implementation of the Dayton plan, without any exceptions or alterations," he said, recalling an earlier U.S. Administration's assessment that current hindrances were first serious challenge to the accord, though all three factions keep saying they accept to implement it utterly. They apparently disagree on what the full implementation actually means, he added. Holbrooke was accompanied by U.S. Assistant Secretary for human rights John Shattuck and General Wesley Clark, who was a member of negotiating time since the beginning of the peace process. The delegation will meet international representative Carl Bildt, Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic, and the IFOR chief commander Admiral Leighton Smith. Later on Sunday they were due to proceed for Belgrade. (Hina) bk 111248 MET feb 96
