REBEL CROATIAN SERBS VIOLATE CEASEFIRE IN UNPA SOUTH

SPLIT, Dec 16 (Hina) - Rebel Croatian Serb forces in UNPA South have been seriously violating the March 29 ceasefire agreement. Serb paramilitary formations in the separation zone every day open artillery fire on neighbouring Bosnia, Croatian army Col. Mijic today said at a meeting in Miljkovac near Sinj with the commander of the Kenyan UN Battalion, Col. Githiri. The Croatian army representative said that Serb forces had inserted an infantry battalion into Bosnia near the village of Bracev Dolac. Serb forces still have not withdrawn from Obodin, Opsjenak, Mala Vranovaca. What's more, they have returned to their positions at Tavnica and Sinjal, Mijic said. Mijic strongly protested over flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement by rebel Serbs. Githiri said UNPROFOR would try and re-establish supervision in the separation zone. Serb authorities from UNPA South were also invited to attend today's meeting but did not appear. (hina) jn vm 162045 MET dec 94
