INCIDENT ON PAKRAC-POZEGA ROAD

BJELOVAR, Sep 6 (Hina) - Commander of the police station in Pakrac, UNPA West, Nikola Ivkanec reported that UNPROFOR members had halted members of the Croatian police, who had patrolled the Pakrac-Pozega road, between the villages of Spanovice and Dragovici, and had blocked the road at about 14:00 hours yesterday. The Croatian policemen wore helmets and chain mails because they patrolled the zone where Serb terrorists have been violating ceasefire often, but UNPROFOR members said that chain mails and helmets were military equipment. UN Argentinian officers lifted blockade of the road after negotiations with the Croatian police. The Croatian party said at the meeting that the police only wanted to protect its members, so that they wore chain mails and helmets. (hina) ks 061034 MET sep 94
