The Council again reiterated Croatia's determination to guarantee all civil rights to the civilian population in the area. It was stressed that only those Serbs who had committed war crimes would be tried. The Council confirmed Croatia's decision that UNCRO could only perform the following tasks within the new mandate: the control of Croatia's internationally recognised borders, the control of rocket launchers in the hand of Serb irregular units, the control of the Udbina airfield and the monitoring of peaceful reintegration. The Council emphasised that the only possible task of the international community in liberated western Slavonia could be that of monitoring the observance of all human and ethnic rights. The Council was informed of the President's decision to appoint Col. Gen. Zvonimir Cervenko as deputy to Chief-of-Staff Gen. Bobetko, who was advised by a medical team to take a rest cure."
