UNPROFOR SYMPATHIZES WITH REFUGEE PROTESTS, SPOKESMAN SAYS

ZAGREB, July 14 (Hina) - UNPROFOR spokesman Michael Williams told a press conference in Zagreb on Thursday that UNPROFOR sympathized with refugees and their desire to return to their homes so there was no reason to block the UN headquarters in Zagreb and personnel on the ground. "On behalf of the UN Protection Force and the UN secretary- general's special representative, Yasushi Akashi, we express hope that a solution will be found for a quick, safe and dignified return of refugees on the basis of relevant Security Council resolutions, and in particular Resolution 815 which reaffirms that the UNPAs are part of Croatia," Williams said. Assistant spokesman Paul Risley said Croatian refugees today continued blocking most of the UN check-points. 141516 MET jul 94
