BOSNIAN ELECTION PROCEEDING WITHOUT MAJOR PROBLEMS

SARAJEVO, Sept 14 (Hina) - Representatives of the international organizations in charge of the Bosnian election said on Saturday that voting was proceeding without major incidents. UN spokesman Alexander Ivanko told a news conference in Sarajevo that there were no major incidents or traffic jams on 19 designated voter routes. In the morning, ten buses travelled from Sanski Most to Prijedor, northwestern Bosnia, and all voters could reach polling stations although the chief of police in Prijedor had said via local media that he would not allow Moslems to enter the town, Ivanko said. About 730 people travelled along the Jajce-Mrkonjic Grad road, and there have been no incidents in the Velika Kladusa area, designated as a hot spot. The international police reported that a shot had been fired early in the morning near a polling station in the Sarajevo suburb of Faletici. The local police launched an investigation, Ivanko said. IFOR spokesman Bratt Boudreau said that minor traffic jams on the voter routes had been caused by voters who tried to pass through in passenger cars in violation of earlier agreements. Boudreau described the security situation in Bosnia- Herzegovina as quite satisfactory. The OSCE director general for the election, Jess Fisher, said that HDZ representatives had returned to overseeing the voting process in the western town of Bugojno after talks with OSCE officials. HDZ officials pulled out of the local election commission in protest at Friday night's hand-grenade attack on the home of a Croat commissioner. OSCE spokeswoman Agota Zukermann said that all polling stations had been opened on time and that all voter roads were completely passable. (hina) vm 141251 MET sep 96
