MONTENEGRIN WEEKLY "MONITOR" ON CRUSH OF SERB AIRCRAFT

PODGORICA, March 3 (Hina) - The Podgorica-based independent weekly "Monitor" wrote today about the death of the Serb pilots in the intervention of NATO on Monday. Monitor revealed that some of those pilots had worked two months ago in the airport of Podgorica (the capital of Montenegro). According to Monitor, the chief-of-staff of the Yugoslav Army, Momcilo Perisic, summoned all pilots to attend a meeting in the end of October last year when he told them that "all who were born on the territories of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina must be deployed at the airport of Udbina" (80 kilometres north of Zadar, Croatia), which is on the occupied area of Croatia. That news stunned the pilots, who protested and asked why they were to be deployed at Udbina when no aircraft were there, but they were told to "let others worry about that." As it was impossible for the aircraft to reach Udbina by air because of the no fly zone, they were shipped by land. According to Monitor, the aircraft were disassembled and transported in trailer trucks to Udbina, where they were assembled again. 031859 MET mar 94
