AKASHI, DE LAPRESLE LEAVE FOR SARAJEVO, PALE

ZAGREB, May 3 (Hina) - "The situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the UNPAs in Croatia has been mainly calm in the past 24 hours, barring minor incidents," Special Envoy Akashi's spokesman Michael Williams told a news conference at UNPROFOR headquarters in Zagreb. The UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy Yasushi Akashi and UN Force Commander Gen. Bertrand de Lapresle left today for Sarajevo and Pale. "Yasushi Akashi is going to call on both sides to refrain from any aggressive actions," said Williams. "At Pale, Akashi is also going to discuss the possibility of dispatching UN Military Observers to the Brcko area (north-eastern Bosnia), which we consider to be the most dangerous crisis spot in Bosnia- Herzegovina," noted Williamson. He went on to say that a British military convoy for Gorazde was still held up at Rogatica by Bosnian Serbs. Asked whether Akashi was going to reply to Sarinic's letter about Serb manoeuvres to put off the next round of talks, Willliams said: "We are concerned about the Serb side not fulfilling their obligations within the expected deadline and in the extent agreed. I believe Mr. Akashi took into account the observations in the letter." 031551 MET may 94
