2,851 SARAJEVANS USED 'BLUE ROUTES' YESTERDAY

SARAJEVO, Feb 8 (Hina) - An estimated 2,851 travelers yesterday used the 'blue routes' which cross the airport and link Sarajevo to liberated territory in Bosnia. Access to Sarajevo will remain open to civilian traffic regardless of the postponement of a meeting today between Bosnian Government officials and Bosnian Serbs. The parties were to have discussed the conditions under which the routes could be opened to humanitarian and commercial traffic. UN spokesman in Sarajevo Aleksandar Ivanko said the planned meeting was postponed because both parties wanted extra time to consult on the proposed text of the agreement. Sarajevo UNPROFOR headquarters confirmed that yesterday at 5pm the first incident occurred on the Butmir-Dobrinja route when a car swerving off the road hit a land mine and injured one person. Nevertheless 'blue routes' will operate as normal, and travelers were warned to strictly follow UNPROFOR's instructions. (hina) sd as 081334 MET feb 95
