ZAGREB, Jan 12 (Hina) - The following is a statement from UN
Security General, Boutros-Boutros Ghali after he received Croatian
President Franjo Tudjman's letter on ending the UNPROFOR mandate.
I have been informed today by President Tudjman that the
Republic of Croatia will not accept a further renewal of the
mandate of the United Nations Protection Force in his country
beyond 31 March 1995 when the current mandate expires.
I very much regret this decision by the Croatian Government.
The United Nations played a decisive role in bringing a halt to the
brutal war on Croatian soil three years ago, and the United Nations
Protection Force has helped prevent a resumption of the fighting
since.
While I am painfully aware of the frustration of the Croatian
people that a final political settlement has eluded us, I should
like to recall that the unremitting efforts of the international
community have resulted in visible progress, particularly in the
opening of the Zagreb-Belgrade highway.
I am gravely concerned about the risk of renewed hostilities
should United Nations peacekeepers be withdrawn from Croatia for
this reason, the international community will continue its dialogue
with the Government of Republic of Croatia on the issues raised in
President Tudjman's letter. I will, of course, submit his request
to the Security Council for its consideration.
In the meantime, I urge all parties to exercise the utmost
restraint as we collectively work to restore lasting peace to the
Balkan region.
