DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER'S INTERVIEW WITH CROATIAN RADIO

ZAGREB, July 1 (Hina) - Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Seks said in an interview with Croatian Radio on Friday that Croatia would insist on UNPROFOR's implementing two UN resolutions in particular before the expiration of its mandate on September 30. One resolution says that UN peace-keepers should be deployed together with Croatian armed forces along the internationally recognized borders of Croatia in order to prevent any attempts by the Serbian regime to establish links with or extend support to Serb rebels in Croatia. The other resolution focuses on restoration of economic and communication links within Croatia. Commenting on rallies organized by refugees throughout the country in protest at UNPROFOR's inefficiency, Seks said that some UNPROFOR elements were smuggling all sorts of goods which exceeded humanitarian needs. He added that there was evidence that UN special envoy Yasushi Akashi had approved a thousand tons of fuel for rebel Serbs in direct violation of a UN resolution. "Therefore, both the Government and the Defence and National Security Council find those protests understandable and justified," Seks said. 012124 MET jul 94
