ZAGREB, Nov 1, (Hina) - UN Special Envoy to the Secretary General,
Yasushi Akashi, said last night that despite his efforts, Serbs
would only allow displaced people to visit a few graves at
separation zones on All Saints' Day.
"For two years, no such visits have been possible, but with
the improved security situation as a result of the maintenance of
the 29 March 1994 ceasefire agreement - a small but significant
step has been made," Akashi said.
"I would have wished that visits tomorrow would have been
possible to many more cemeteries both within the Zone of Separation
and inside the UNPAs," he said.
"A lack of cooperation from the authorities in Knin did not
make possible more visits."
Akashi described these visits as an important symbolic
humanitarian step in creating greater understanding between the
parties to this tragic conflict.
It was for this reason, he said, that he had instructed
UNPROFOR to assist in facilitating symbolic ceremonies (lighting
candles and arranging flowers) to take place at the 19 crossing
points into the UNPAs on All Saints' Day between 10am and 6pm.
