ARRESTED POLICEMAN, SWITCHBOARD AND FOOTBALL TEAM DIVIDE TWO BOSNI

BOSNI $ AN MUNICIPALITIES MOSTAR, March 12 (Hina) - Moslem police based in Tesanj yesterday detained a Croatian police officer from the neighbouring municipality of Usora (northern Bosnia), local Croat officials said today. The arrest prompted the Usora-based HVO (Croatian Defence Council) command and the local HDZ branch (Croatian Democratic Union) to inform the governments of the United States, Germany, Austria and Turky of this incident. The letter was carried by Bosnian Croat radio. The letter also complained that the Moslem authorities in Tesanj had obstructed the arrival of a football team from Zepce, which was to play the Usora team. The Moslem authorities were also obstructing the installation of a new switchboard in Usora. "The situation in Usora is tense and may escalate into a full- blown conflict with unforeseeable consequences," the letter warned. US, German, Austrian and Turkish officials were urged to visit Usora and see the situation for themselves. (hina) jn as 122003 MET mar 95
