CONTROL POINTS IN BOSNIA ARE CLOSED

SARAJEVO, March 25 (Hina) - Control points under Bosnian Government and Bosnian Serb control are closed, UNPROFOR said in a statement today. The Bosnians closed their points Friday afternoon, thus separating the area under their control from the Serb-held Rajlovac suburb, UNPROFOR spokesman, Pierre Chavancy said. Sarajevo authorities had explained that it was only a temporary closure because of fear of an attack from Bosnian Serbs. UNHCR often uses the Bosnian-controlled points in its transport of aid for refugees to Serb-held areas. Bosnian Serbs told UNHCR Saturday morning that they had closed the 'Sierra 4' control point, situated between Sarajevo and the airport, UNHCR spokesman Kris Janowski said. "It's obviously a retaliatory measure," he said. (hina) as sd 251245 MET mar 95
