SERBS SUFFER SET BACKS IN CENTRAL BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA

SARAJEVO, Feb 28 (Hina) - Bosnian Serb troops suffered significant set backs during clashes in the past three days at Mt Vlasic near Travnik, central Bosnia-Herzegovina. UNHCR spokesman, Kris Janowski, said that 31 Serb soldiers were killed and five were missing. Meanwhile some 350 civilians from the three villages in Mount Vlasic were evacuated and bussed to Skender-Vakuf. UN spokesman, Herve Gourmelon, said UNPROFOR could not confirm what actually had happened in Vlasic because they were not allowed to go there. UN military observers four days ago reported Bosnian Serb shell attacks on Travnik and described them as retaliatory attacks against the Bosnian Army's progress on the ground. Sarajevo media did not cover recent fighting in Vlasic, but Serb television last night conceded that it had suffered losses broadcasting a funeral of the soldiers who were killed.
