NO SERB DICTATE SHOULD BE TOLERATED - GERMAN M.P.

BONN, May 3 (Hina) - Since it was obvious that all Croatian cities were within range of the Serb offensive weapons, Croatia should be assisted to finally mop up its Serb-occupied areas, European Parliament MP Bernd Posselt said Tuesday in Bonn. Posselt strongly criticized the Ministerial Council of the European Union for its "rigid status quo policy" on the Serb occupying forces in Croatia. "The brutal attack on Zagreb has proved that the status quo - the Serb occupation of all key positions in Croatia - means inevitable war," Posselt said. "The cementing of the Serb occupation in the last few years was abnormal and directed against the existence of Croatia. If Croats have to handle it by themselves, we should at least lift the arms embargo on them and refrain from attacking them politically from the back," he added. The process of seeking a political solution should go on, but no "Serb dictate should be tolerated." (Hina) mm bk 031219 MET may 95
