CEASE-FIRE HOLDS IN LASVA RIVER VALLEY, CENTRAL BOSNIA

VITEZ, March 5 (Hina) - Barring occasional sniper and small-arms provocations, the cease-fire was mainly respected in the Lasva River Valley on Saturday, said the local Croatian Defence Council (HVO) command. According to the Vitez-based HVO command, the Croat and Moslem sides are discussing the demarcation maps with British UNPROFOR officials, said a Hina correspondent from Vitez. Bosnian Serbs living in the Lasva Valley who obtained HVO authorisation to leave the area did not yet obtain the authorisation of the Moslem army to cross the Moslem-controlled territory. According to the Vitez-based HVO command, the Moslem side is witholding the authorisation until Bosnian Serb authorities reveal the whereabouts of 2,000 missing Moslems from Prijedor and Banja Luka (north-western Bosnia). The HVO and Bosnian army commissions on missing persons at yesterday's meeting in Zenica that HVO prisons in Busovaca and Zepce and Moslem prisons in Bugojno, Travnik and Zenica would be closed next week. The Moslem side consented to grant amnesty to five HVO soldiers, who have already been sentenced to prison terms. 051411 MET mar 94
