US AMBASSADOR TO BOSNIA ON JUPPE'E TRIPARTITE MEETING IDEA

SARAJEVO, Feb 12 (Hina) - "The US administration is taking a positive view of the proposed tripartite meeting between Presidents Tudjman, Izetbegovic and Milosevic," the US Ambassador to Bosnia- Herzegovina, Victor Jakovich, told today's issue of the Sarajevo- based daily "Oslobodjenje". He warned that the meeting should be carefully prepared, because Washington wasn't interested in yet another round of consultations. "There have been a great many conferences and talks on Bosnia- Herzegovina which did not bring any results - this shouldn't occur again with this meeting," Jakovich said. The UN administration was concerned about the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the peace process being at a standstill, he said. Commenting on certain hints that the UN peace-keepers were about to leave Bosnia, Jakovic said that the US administration wished to see a strong UNPROFOR with even wider authorities. Their presence was justified as long as there were people who needed their help, he said. (hina) as 121152 MET feb 95
