INT COMMUNITY WILL PREVENT ANY ATTEMPT AT SECESSION - MURPHY

SARAJEVO, Aug 31 (Hina) - Contact Group member-states could discuss the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina on the eve of the 14 September elections and the measures which should be undertaken after the elections at their meeting next Saturday, spokesman for International Peace Coordinator Carl Bildt's Office Colum Murphy said in Sarajevo on Saturday. The meeting will probably take place in Frankfurt, Germany. Murphy expressed belief that elections would take place in the arranged time. After yesterday's visit of U.S. Assistant Secretary of State John Kornblum to Sarajevo and talks with Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic, there were no more doubts that the Bosniak side, dissatisfied with the large number of voters registered for voting on form P-2, could decide to boycott the elections. The main headquarters of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) last night stated that it had withdrawn an appeal to voters abroad not to take part in the elections until the fate of form P-2 became clear. The whole international community, including Carl Bildt's Office now directed their attention to the establishment of bodies of central authority in BH after the elections and measures to prevent any attempt at secession, persistently mentioned by Bosnian Serb representatives, Murphy concluded.
