SARINIC SATISFIED AFTER HIS TALKS WITH AKASHI

ZAGREB, May 10 (Hina) - Croatian President's chief-of-staff, Hrvoje Sarinic, said he was satisfied with his meeting with UN Secretary- General's special envoy, Yasushi Akashi, which had been held today. We were pleased with the meeting, because it had been rich in facts as well as in realistic, pragmatic views and we decided with Akashi to have as many as possible such talks at this stage until major problems could be solved, Sarinic said. Sarinic described the attitude of Akashi and his associates as very correct toward Croatia, whereas some things had been "in hurry wrongly interpreted." Yasushi Akashi said that the United Nations had received some reports on violations of human rights in western Slavonia, but, Akashi added, such reports had been given, perhaps, too much importance. We would like to be completely present and to have the freedom of movements so that we could fully control the situation, particularly in observance of human rights. In this regard Mr. Sarinic had given me all guarantees, Akashi added. Akashi said the questioning of detainees whether they would like to remain in or leave western Slavonia was now carried on in the full presence of the UNHCR officials. Sarinic added that he reminded Akashi of the conduct of the other side at the beginning of the aggression and of the fact that before the Serb aggression there had been 221,000 Croats in the temporarily occupied Croatian areas, whereas at the moment only 11,000 of them remained there. The UN commander, General Janvier would travel to Knin tomorrow to talk with General Celeketic, and we hoped that military commanders would meet very soon and that the tensions be defused in the zones of separations, Akashi said. Sarinic said that the Croatian side also believed that military commanders should meet, and added that the Croatian authorities submitted lists of places where Serb forces had passed disengagement lines. Yugoslavia, that was at the moment taking certain peace efforts, was, at the same time, sending heavy arms and tanks and was intending to build a pontoon bridge over the Danube. Furthermore it had now more than its 2,000 soldiers "under the veil of volunteers" in the former Sector East. "This, of course, cannot settle the situation," Sarinic said. In this respect, Akashi replied that UN had available information that the Army of Yugoslavia had started moving, but it was still at the Yugoslav borders. He said that UN would check reports that Yugoslav soldiers were inside the former East Sector (eastern Croatia). (hina) mm mms 101830 MET may 95
