UNPROFOR PRESS CONFERENCE IN ZAGREB

ZAGREB, July 14 (Hina) - Today's press conference at the UN headquarters in Zagreb focused on yesterday's sudden attack by Serb paramilitary formations in the Sinj area. UN assistant spokesman Paul Risley said that three Serb soldiers had run into a mine field in the disengagement zone on Wednesday morning, adding that UN Canadian peace-keepers tried to help them out of the zone. But Croatian soldiers opened small arms fire, killing one Serb soldier and injuring another, said Risley. UNPROFOR spokesman Michael Williams said that commander of the NATO Southern Europe Admiral Leighton Smith is to arrive in Zagreb on Saturday to meet for talks with U.N. commander General Bertrand de Lapresle. The two will consider the situation if the warring fanctions reject the Bosnia plan drawn up by the international contact group. 141552 MET jul 94
