CROATIA-"BSA" EXCHANGE POWS AT DAVOR

DAVOR, 2 April(Hina) - An exchange of POWs that took place Tuesday evening at the village of Davor (app. 160 km SE of Zagreb) was only partially successful because Bosnian Serbs failed to honour their obligations from a Sarajevo agreement on exchange of POWs. The Croats met the agreement and handed to Bosnian Serbs 14 POWs, whereas the other party released only six detainees, including pilot Cool Vladimir Sumanovac, HV Ante Glavan and Ivan Pupic, members of the 126th Sinj brigade, Leo Cvjetic, member of the 6th professional brigade of the HV, Josip Bracun, member of the 7th professional brigade of the HV and the civilian Zeljko Ikica. Head of the Croatian government commission for POWs the missing persons, Maj. Ivan Grujic, said the Serbs also failed to provide any detailed information on the plight of pilot Rudolf Peresin, thus breaching the Sarajevo agreement of 30 March. Considering that the Serbs did not show up with all persons that have been designated for the exchange, it is not surprising they did not disclose any information on Peresin's destiny, says Ivan Grujic. From that he concludes Serb authorities are not fully committed to the resolution of the problem. (Hina) mr 022302 MET apr 96
