NO CONCRETE RESULTS ACHIEVED AT MEETING BETWEEN AKASHI AND GANIC

SARAJEVO, Aug 16 (Hina) - No concrete results were achieved at today's meeting in Sarajevo between delegations of UNPROFOR and the Bosnian government, led by U.N. special envoy Yasushi Akashi and vice-chairman of the Croat-Bosniac Federation Ejup Ganic. After the meeting, Ganic said that the government delegation proposed to Akashi that 'blue routes' around Sarajevo be opened even "by force if necessary", and that UNPROFOR undertake more determined measures in order to withdraw heavy weapons, that endanger security of the humanitarian air lift, from the area of Sarajevo airport. Akashi said that in this moment no radical progress was possible and that they would try to change the situation by policy of little steps. He announced that he would leave for Pale, the Serb stronghold, on Thursday in order to discuss the current situation in Bosnia with Karadzic. Today's meeting also focused on the situation in western Bosnia. Akashi said that the Bosnian side agreed today "to discuss a possibility of a meeting at higher level with representatives of Abdic's authorities". (hina) jas ks 161802 MET aug 94
