ZAGREB, Dec 3 (Hina) - UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali issued a report pursuant to the Security Council Resolution 871, which was forwarded to the ambassadors to all member countries of the UN Security Council. The report, which was carried in full by Hina, presents all details of the negotiations to implement the UN peace plan. Special part of the report was devoted to the situation in the UNPA's . In reference to the situation in the UNPA's, the report says that "account has been taken of President Tudjman's Peace Initiative" and that " efforts are already under way on many of the issues raised by president Tudjman". "The key elements of the ceasefire agreement under discussion are the separation of forces along the confrontation lines, with UNPROFOR interposing itself between the two sides and monitoring heavy weapons on both sides, the report states, and goes on to say:"In areas where there would be withdrawal, UNPROFOR would be interposed between the forces, with a degree of give and take over the key features of the Peruca Dam, Miljevici plateau, Zemunik airport and Maslenica bridge, which would remain under Croatian control, and three villages near Maslenica and a key feature overlooking Obrovac, which would return to Serb Control". The Report goes on to discuss "the main areas of economic interest to the two parties discussed at the talks related to infrastructure and communications, energy and water supply." Concluding his report, Ghali states that "various initiatives are under way which, with the cooperation of the parties, could pave the way for implementation of the UN peace-keeping plan," and adds that "progress is slow and is quickly halted if one side attacks territory if one side attacks the territory held by the other (...) nevertheless in view of the developments reported by my Special Representative since my report of 20th September 1993 (... ) do not find it necessary to recommend that the Security Council reconsider UNPROFOR's mandate at this time." "If, however, the international community's very substantial commitment to peacemaking and peace-keeping in Croatia is to be sustained, it is essential that the two sides intensify their efforts for the achievement of economic cooperation and for the negotiation of a lasting political settlement," " Ghali's report ends. 032108 MET dec 93
