SESSION OF JOINT COMMISSION CANCELLED DUE TO SERBS' LEAVING

ZADAR, July 1 (Hina) - A session of the joint commission in Sector South, that should have taken place today at the crossing point in Zemunik near Zadar, has not been held because a Serb delegation left Zemunik, the U.N. Protection Force (UNPROFOR) command for Sector South said on Friday. The UNPROFOR statement does not mention reasons why the Serb delegation, which already arrived in Zemunik, gave up at the last moment from the joint commission session. According to the statement, the UNPROFOR commander for peace keepers in Sector South, Czech General Rastislav Kotil, met a Croatian military delegation led by General Ante Gotovina. They held talks on further implementation of the 29 March cease-fire agreement, on a decrease in the number of forces in the 10- kilometre zone at the both sides from the former disengagement line. At the end of the statement the UNPROFOR command for Sector South underlines that all those present at the joint session sessions should hand over arms at UNPROFOR check-points. 011429 MET jul 94
