GUDUCA BROOK INSPECTION POSTPONED

SIBENIK, Jan 10 (Hina) - UN military observers positioned in the Croatian coastal town of Sibenik, yesterday refused to secure a tour of Guduca brook, UNPA south, as long as the Croatian flag continued to wave on the pole of a Croatian inspection boat. The UN observers said the Croatian flag could provoke rebel Serbs in UNPA south, ecology advisor for Sibenik municipality Zivana Belak-Lambasa said today. The representatives of the Sibenik municipality and Sibenik coastal guards refused to take down the flag therefore the tour inspection was postponed. Sibenik officials agreed with UNPROFOR headquarters in Zagreb, that from January 3 Guduca brook be inspected daily because of the possible appearance of oil that last month leaked out of UNPROFOR tank near Bribirske Mostine, UNPA south. But since the flag incident yesterday UNPROFOR officials have stopped the inspections. Sibenik municipality representatives asked UN officials to send a formal request to have the Croatian flag taken down from the inspection boat so they could make an official protest. The UN officials have not yet responded to the request, Belak- Lambusa said. 101626 MET jan 95
