SARAJEVO, Feb 10 (Hina) - The UNHCR is afraid to send vehicles
carrying food, through Serb-controlled check points fearing an act
of revenge after an UNHCR worker of Serb nationality was arrested
by Bosnian-Moslem police.
The UNHCR is now worried about its workers of Croatian
descent becoming the targets of revenge.
UNHCR spokesman, Kris Janowski, said today that Bosnian
(Moslem) police near UN headquarters stopped an UNHCR vehicle and
arrested two workers, a Croat and a Serb.
The arrested Croat (whose name has not been released) was
freed after spending 10 hours at the police station.
The other detainee, Svetlana Boskovic, 29, was accused of
spying for Serbs and held in prison.
Janowski said Boskovic, who lived in the Serb-controlled part
of Sarajevo, Ilidza, often traveled to the Bosnian-Government
controlled parts of the city.
Bosnian police accused Boskovic of providing information on
the citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina who had been traveling under
UNPROFOR protection to and from the Airport - this was why Bosnian
TV reporter Namik Berberovic was kidnapped.
Janowski said that the Bosnian side wanted to swap Boskovic
for Berberovic which the UN found unacceptable.
The UNHCR would not be able to transport food from the airport
warehouses until the dispute was solved, fearing that Serbs might
take out revenge on Bosnian Croats who work for the UNHCR.
French Foreign Legion soldiers guarding the Sarajevo Airport,
would temporarily transport humanitarian aid from the airport to
warehouses, effectively taking on the job of local UNHCR workers.
The UNHCR today resumed, albeit with difficulty, the air-lift
to Sarajevo. Difficulties would remain until the above-outlined
problems were solved.
The new chief of UNPROFOR's civil sector for the former
Yugoslavia, Michel Moussalli today traveled to Pale to ask Serbs to
immediately release the kidnapped Bosnian television journalist.
