UNHCR REACHES COMPROMISING SOLUTION FOR JUSICI

SARAJEVO, Sept 30 (Hina) - Representatives of the UN High Commission for Refugees and the governments of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Serb entity reached an agreement to solve a crisis which arose when a large group of Bosniaks returned to the northeastern Bosnian village of Jusici, which is in the separation zone, within the Serb entity, UNHCR spokesman Mans Nyberg said in Sarajevo on Monday. According to the agreement all returnees should temporarily leave Jusici. Within the next 72 hours, a special task group presided by the president of UNHCR, will process appeals of all those interested in returning and pre-war Jusici inhabitants will be allowed to return to their homes and continue with the reparation of destroyed buildings. Nyberg said that the whole return-process should be completed within the following two weeks and added that such a solution represented a reasonable compromise fully consented to by the Serb side too. Spokesman for the NATO-led Peace Implementation Force (IFOR) Simon Haselock said that some 130,000 Bosniaks had been in Jusici during the last ten days and added that IFOR undertook the responsibility to provide security in the village after it was temporarily evacuated. All armed persons would be denied access, Haselock concluded. (hina) ha mm 301401 MET sep 96
