ZAGREB, April 5 (Hina) - Implementation of ceasefire agreement signed by Croatian delegation and rebel Serbs on March 30 is going very well, said on Tuesday UNPROFOR Chief-of-Staff general Charles Ritchie at news conference in Zagreb based U.N. headquarters. Since this morning we have clear confirmation that heavy weapons will be pulled out in line with the agreement, said general Ritchie. Weapons that will be not pulled out is going to be collected in warehouses under U.N. protection, he added. The agreement predicts withdrawal of mortars and antiaircraft guns to 10 km and tanks and artillery weapons to 20 km from line of disangagement. General Ritchie said work on establishment of separation line is continued and UNPROFOR has got mine-fields maps. New crossing points were opened in sector East - Vinkovci and Nustar - and in sector North - Glinska Poljana and Vojnovac. Crossing points in sector South - Zemunik, Jasenica and Peruca - are not opened yet only because of technical problems, said general Ritchie. 051459 MET apr 94
