NON-ALIGNED INSIST ON COMPLIANCE WITH RESOLUTIONS 943, 820

NEW YORK, Dec 1 (Hina) - The UN Security Council is expected to vote Friday on a draft resolution reaffirming that the transport of goods across the borders of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and Bosnia-Herzegovina, including the UN-protected areas of Croatia, must be in compliance with Security Council resolutions 943 and 820. The draft resolution would bring nothing new but reaffirm an operative paragraph of resolution 820 saying that no goods, except humanitarian aid supplies, can be brought into Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina without clearance from their governments. The draft was prompted by a report from the International Conference on former Yugoslavia which said that every week 100 to 150 trucks delivered fuel to Serb-occupied areas in Croatia without permission of the Croatian and Bosnian governments. The draft resolution was sponsored by non-aligned countries Rwanda, Oman, Djibouti, Pakistan and Nigeria. Croatian and Bosnian diplomats also worked on it. Unofficial sources said the strongest support came from New Zealand while Russia was opposing it on the grounds that such a resolution would not at this juncture contribute to the peace process.
