BILDT COULD ENCOURAGE SERBS TO EXTRADITE KARADZIC WITH SANCTIONS

SARAJEVO, June 20 (Hina) - High Commissioner Carl Bildt has not given up the possibility of reimposing sanctions on Yugoslavia and the Serb entity if it is established that Belgrade and Pale are trying to pull one over the Dayton peace accords, especially those on the removal from political life of war crimes suspects and their extradition to the Tribunal in The Hague, spokesman with International Peace Coordinator's Office, Colum Murphy said. Bildt was still discussing the possibility with Slobodan Milosevic, Murphy told Thursday's news conference in Sarajevo. #L# If Bildt decided so, sanctions for Yugoslavia and the Serb entity could be imposed in full power within five days because the sanctions had only been suspended, not abolished, Murphy said. He said that Karadzic still continued to hold the control in Pale. Hard-liners in the Serb entity were doing everything do prevent strengthening of peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Murphy said, citing the example of Wednesday's absence of the Premier of the Serb entity, Gojko Klickovic, from the meeting of the three premiers. Klickovic had forwarded a message to Bildt saying that he was too "occupied" and announced that he would be "occupied" in the future, Murphy said. Such actions would not be tolerated and would be considered as violation of the Dayton Agreement, Murphy said. He reiterated his warning that the intimidation of Serbs who had remained in the suburbs of Sarajevo was continuing and asked the Sarajevo authorities to prevent such incidents. It had to stop immediately because Sarajevo had to serve as example for whole of Bosnia, Murphy said. (hina) lm jn 201626 MET jun 96
