UNHCR SPOKESPERSON ON CONVOYS TO B-H

ZAGREB, Nov 26 (Hina) - UNHCR Humanitarian convoys left Friday from several points towards B-H although with certain difficulties, according to the UNHCR spokesperson Alemka Lisinski. The 10-truck convoy carrying 120 tons of humanitarian aid from Zagreb stopped during the night in Banja Luka from where it went on to Banja Luka, and on to Zenica. Unfortunately, the convoy did not get the military pass certificate at Pale. Without Bosnian Serbs' police escort it went on through the Serbian controlled territory. Before reaching Travnik, in Turbe, the convoy should be taken over by UNPROFOR. For the moment the convoy has managed to pass through two Serbian check points, according to Lisinski. On Thursday another convoy bound for central Bosnia and carrying the same quantity of aid started from Metkovic, and continued on Stolac-Foca route with final destination in Zenica. A third convoy started from Belgrade to Srebrenica. UNHCR reported that it was stopped at the border between the F.R. Yugoslavia and B-H in Zvornik. UNHCR spokesperson stated that it is an important convoy since it transports 12 trucks of important winter supplies, which had not been allowed so far by the Bosnian Serbs. They did not allow passage this time again, stating that the road conditions are poor. Just after 10:00 Friday a convoy for Sarajevo left Belgrade. The local convoys for Herzegovina, one of which was forwarded for Posusje today, have not met any obstacles so far, UNHCR spokesperson stated. (End) 261434 MET nov 93
