UNHCR RESUMES AID CONVOYS TO SARAJEVO AND GORAZDE

SARAJEVO, Oct 3 (Hina) - Two convoys with provisions for UN peace- keepers in Sarajevo and Gorazde were allowed passage this morning through a Serb check point at Kobiljaca near Sarajevo. The convoys were blocked all day yesterday despite promises pledged by Serb leaders in talks with UNPROFOR officials at Pale on Saturday. UN spokeswoman Claire Grimes told reporters in Sarajevo today that a note of strong protest had been sent to Serb military and political leaders yesterday after the Saturday agreement had been circumvented. Shortly before midnight last night, the Serbs confirmed they would allow the convoys through. UNHCR spokesman Kris Janowsky said two humanitarian aid convoys were dispatched from Belgrade to Gorazde this morning. UNHCR is planning to send more food convoys this week to alleviate the grave humanitarian situation in Gorazde, Janowsky said. (hina) mm vm 031253 MET oct 94
