UN MILITARY OBSERVERS WITHDRAW FROM ZEPA

SARAJEVO, May 25 (Hina) - The UN military observers who were located in Zepa, one of the three Muslim UN protected enclaves in eastern Bosnia, withdrew yesterday, UN Headquarters in Sarajevo confirmed today. Ukrainian UN military observers remained in the enclave and would further perform their tasks, although with considerable difficulties. UN spokesman Gary Coward said the observers pulled out because of food and fuel shortage. They would be re-deployed in the area as soon as conditions for their return were provided, according to Coward. Bosnian Serbs have been preventing regular supply of 'blue helmets' in Srebrenica, Zepa and Gorazde for months. (hina) jn rm 251441 MET may 95
