SWEDISH FOREIGN MINISTER STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF RELIEF AID TO BOSNIA

ZAGREB, Nov 25 (Hina) - "The fact is that Bosnian Croats also obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid. It is surprising and totally unacceptable," said Swedish Foreign Minister Margarethu af Ugglas on arrival at Zagreb Airport on Thursday evening. Earlier today, Mrs Ugglas met in Sarajevo with Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic, Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic, representatives of humanitarian organizations and the UNPROFOR commander in Bosnia- Herzegovina, General Francis Briquemont. The Swedish Foreign Minister was mostly interested in humanitarian issues because, as she said, Sweden is one of the chief donors. Sweden is trying to get through a delivery of prefab houses for refugees in Srebrenica and Gorazde before the bitter winter sets in. "A part of the delivery is intended for Serb refugees, so that we are particularly concerned that Pale authorities still have not granted clearance for the delivery," stressed Mrs Ugglas. 252021 MET nov 93
