SERB LIAISON OFFICER TO ARRIVE IN TUZLA

SARAJEVO, June 4 (Hina) - U.N spokesman Rob Annink said on Saturday that a Bosnian Serb liaison officer is to arrive at the Tuzla airport, northern Bosnia, today despite fierce opposition of Bosnian government officials. According to Annink, the Serb representative will be based in the UNPROFOR HQ for Sector North- East at the Tuzla airport, but he will have no authority to control U.N. aircraft. Annink reiterated that an initiative to deploy liaison officers, representatives of all parties in conflict, at crucial points in Bosnia-Herzegovina was taken in order to ease solving of crisis situations. UNPROFOR sources confirmed that machine-gun fire was opened yesterday in the area of the Mount Igman at a bus full of passengers. The fire was opened from the direction of the Golo Brad area. Annink did not identify perpetrators of the attack launched at civilians, but it is known that that position is held by the Bosnian Serbs. Fierce fighting continued in the Gradacac area, said UNPROFOR sources adding that military observers registered 1,100 detonations in the area between Gradacac and Ribnica, northern Bosnia. 041555 MET jun 94
