U.N. NEEDS ANOTHER 6,500 PEACEKEEPERS FOR ITS BOSNIAN MISISON

ZAGREB, Jan 6 (Hina) - Some of the UN peacekeepers deplyoyed in Croatia could be transferred to Bosnia-Herzegovina if their countries provide replacements, UN spokesman Paul Risley told reporters in Zagreb today. The United Nations Thursday asked its members to contribute another 6,500 'blue helmets' in Bosnia to oversee the cease-fire agreement signed December 31. UNPROFOR has some 38,500 soldiers deployed in the former Yugoslavia compared to 45,000 recommended by the Security Council. This was why it was unnecessary for the Security Council to adopt a new resolution on the additional 6,500 soldiers. (hina) jn sd vm 061552 MET jan 95
