SARAJEVO AIRLIFT TO RESUME TOMORROW, UNHCR SAYS

SARAJEVO, Aug 4 (Hina) - The U.N. High Commissioner For Refugees (UNHCR) aircraft will resume flights to the Bosnian capital from tomorrow, a spokesman for UNHCR, Peter Kessler, told journalists in Sarajevo on Thursday. According to Spokesman Kessler, representatives of the countries whose aircraft participate in the airlift for Sarajevo agreed to continue this humanitarian action without the usual break during weekends, so that emptied warehouses for relief aid in Sarajevo could again receive necessary aid supplies as soon as possible. Owing to the fact that it would be necessary to deliver as much humanitarian aid as possible to Sarajevo in next few days UNHCR airplanes will not transport passengers at that time. Kessler also said that Serbs were persistent in declining to allow road convoys to transport aid into Sarajevo. UNHCR issued another request yesterday to Pale (the chief stronghold of Bosnian Serbs) due to the grave situation, but no answer to the request has been sent so far. However, UNHCR managed to dispatch one convoy for Zepa on Tuesday, and another for Srebrenica on Wednesday (Moslem enclaves in eastern Bosnia). A Gorazde-bound convoy of 18 trucks loaded with food and medicines is to start today toward its destination. (hina) mm 041319 MET aug 94
