OSIJEK, Dec 28 (Hina) - The UN Transitional Administrator in
eastern Slavonia, Gen. Jacques Klein, has temporarily closed down
UNTAES offices in Ilok, UNTAES officials said on Saturday.
In response to an incident on Christmas Eve, when a group of
Serbs damaged the Catholic Church of St. John Capistran and
attacked the congregation, both the civilian affairs office and the
office for Croatian citizenship papers were closed down and would
remain closed until the situation returned to normal, deputy
spokesman for UNTAES, Yuriy Chizhik, told HINA.
This security measure was undertaken to help restore law and
order in the Ilok area, he explained.
Noting that the Christmas Eve incident had been well
organised, Chizhik said UNTAES insisted that the instigators be
arrested, tried and punished.
Furthermore, no commercial traffic would be allowed at two
Croatia-Yugoslavia border crossings in the Ilok area as of
Saturday. Passenger vehicles would be searched for weapons and the
driver's ID and other documents carefully checked, Chizhik said. In
case of any irregularities, vehicles may be confiscated, he
announced.
