VITEZ, May 6 (Hina) - An official in Carl Bildt's office, Thomas
Schmidt, believes that the freedom of movement was one of the key
conditions for a good preparation and successful implementation of
the September elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Despite the fact that both sides and the international
community were still not satisfied with the freedom of movement,
still the process was progressing, especially in the Bosnian
Federation, Schmidt said in Vitez on Monday. #L#
He cited examples when Moslems visited graveyards for Kurban-
Bayram in great numbers, in areas under control of the Croatian
Defense Council (HVO).
Asked to describe the implementation of the experimental
program of return of Croat and Moslem refugees to Bugojno, Travnik,
Jajce and Stolac, Schmidt said that there were less results and
more misunderstandings.
"The experimental program of the return of refugees in four
federal areas is primarily a test of renewing trust between Moslems
and Croats. Regulations under the Dayton peace accords are very
clear about the rights of all to return to their homes," Schmidt
said.
