SARAJEVO, Aug 15 (Hina) - The Sarajevo airlift is cancelled today
as well, and a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR), Peter Kessler, announced a session of
representatives of countries participating in this air relief aid
operation. If they win agreement today, the airlift to the Bosnian
capital might resume tomorrow.
Two convoys loaded with about 200 tonnes of food entered
Sarajevo on Saturday and Sunday, Kessler told journalists.
Two convoys bound for the Moslem enclaves of Gorazde and
Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia managed to reach their destinations,
but Serbs again grabbed part of shipments.
Another Gorazde-bound convoy was stopped yesterday by Serbs
at Visegrad requiring to get shipments from two out of nine trucks.
UNHCR representatives did not consent to do it and had to return
the convoy to Belgrade.
UNHCR reached an agreement with the Belgrade government on
free passage of relief convoys trough six border crossings between
Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina
Air relief aid by parachutes was dropped to civilians of Bihac
(western Bosnia) on Saturday overnight. The operation was done by
two U.S. and two French transporting aircraft.
Road traffic toward Bihac is still impeded by the forces loyal
to Fikret Abdic who do not let vehicles pass the area of Velika
Kladusa toward territory under control of the government-led
Bosnian army.
