SERB DENY CLEARANCE TO UNHCR CONVOYS

ZAGREB, Apr 15 (Hina) - UNHCR has been denied clearance for the passage of relief convoys through Serb-controlled parts of Bosnia- Herzegovina, UNHCR spokesman Peter Kessler told reporters on Friday. UNHCR had planned to resume relief transports through Bosnian- controlled territory today, as no aid has reached Bosnia since the NATO air strike on Serb positions at Gorazde, Kessler said. He said aid transports to Srebrenica, Zepa and Gorazde would have priority, and shipments to Banja Luka, Doboj and Derventa were also envisaged. He added that for the moment Gorazde could not be reached because of tank fighting at Ustipraca. Kessler said the UNHCR would again try to obtain clearance on Monday. 151301 MET apr 94
