STEINER TO VISIT DESTROYED VIILAGES NEAR PRIJEDOR

SARAJEVO, Oct 27 (Hina) - A deputy of the international High Representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina peace accord's implementation, Michael Steiner will travel to Prijedor (northwestern Bosnia) on Sunday to see how much abandoned Moslem villages in the area had been recently destroyed. NATO-led IFOR forces' controls on Thursday said five villages near Prijedor inside the Serb entity had been razed to the ground by anti-tanks mines. An IFOR spokesman Simon Haselock described then such acts of destruction as terrorism aimed at preventing Moslem refugees to come home. The IFOR chief commander Admiral Joseph Lopez on Saturday night went to Pale (Serb headquarters outside Sarajevo) to talk with Momcilo Krajisnik, a Serb member of the three-member Bosnian presidency, and warn him that IFOR was greatly concerned about those incidents. Steiner will visit the Prijedor area, accompanied by IFOR officials, international police force, diplomats, and several journalists. (hina) mš 271549 MET oct 96
