SERBS REFUSE TO REOPEN 'BLUE ROADS' TO SARAJEVO

SARAJEVO, Feb 1 (Hina) - The "blue routes" to Sarajevo would not be reopened on Wednesday, as it had been accepted. Bosnian Minister Hasan Muratovic, charged with relations with UN Protection Force, last night said that Tuesday's talks with the Serb side ended without any concrete agreement on reopening the "blue routes" into the Bosnian capital. Muratovic added that at the session, held at Sarajevo Airport, a Serb delegation, led by Momcilo Krajisnik, had demanded 50 percent of all cargo transported along the road between the Sarajevo suburbs Dobrinja and Butmir, that are under control of the Bosnian Army. The Serb had set this prerequisite before signing the agreement. The Serb delegation agreed to reopening the blue roads only for international humanitarian agencies, which already use more secure roads. At the eight-hour session the Serb delegates refused to sign an agreement on medical and social evacuation. They requested that the relocation of civilians on the grounds of such an agreement should be regarded as the change of their permanent residence, but this would mean the legalization of the ethnic cleansing, according to Muratovic. The talks on the release of prisoners of war and information on missing persons also failed to yield any concrete results, since the Serb delegates refused to sign an agreement on this matter accusing the International Red Cross of aligning with the Bosnian Government.
