TALKS ON BORDERS BETWEEN BOSNIA'S ENTITIES AT STANDSTILL - IFOR

SARAJEVO, Mar 1 (Hina) - Borders between the Bosnian Federation and the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina will remain as defined by the Dayton accords if the representatives of both entities do not arrive at an agreement on border changes, IFOR spokesman, Marc Rayner said on Friday in Sarajevo. He added that the work of a special commission on borders had reached a standstill because the two sides could not arrive at an agreement about several disputable areas. #L# Instead of going to Orasje as was announced, Bosnian and Serb experts met again on Friday in Ilidza, near Sarajevo, to try and reach an agreement on certain basic points. Sarajevo alderman Ismet Cengic said in a statement that the Federal government demanded that a border line passing through Dobrinja be rectified. The borderline divides the neighbourhood of Dobrinja into two sections, one of which is in the Serb entity and the other in the Bosnian Federation. According to the Bosnian side, the borderline should be rectified because it cut right through buildings and rooms in apartments. Cengic said that the Federal government suggested a kind of exchange of territory which would leave Dobrinja to the Bosnian Federation. Should the Serb side refuse such an exchange, the issue would remain unresolved, leaving the border line as it had been drawn in Dayton - illogical, Cengic said. In the last few days the Serb side broadcast messages that the Bosnian Federation owed the Serb entity some 170 sqare kilometres. This stretch of land would complete the 49% of territory which should belong to the Serb entity, the argument went. (hina) lm mm 011835 MET mar 96
