BOSNIAKS RETURN PREVENTED TO VITEZ DISTRICT

( Editorial: --> 1015 ) VITEZ, June 13 (Hina) - The residents of Donja Veceriska, a district of Vitez, central Bosnia, Saturday blocked the entrance to the district preventing the return of a group of Bosniaks (Muslims). The blockade, staged following yesterday's murder of a returnee Croat policeman, will last as long as the perpetrators of the many crimes against Croats in nearby Travnik are found, they announced. The Bosniaks' return, scheduled for today, has been postponed to prevent further incidents. The head of the Vitez municipality Ivo Garic asked the international community to delay the return until further notice to avoid incidents. The Croats wondered where in Vitez could Bosniaks return as their houses were either demolished or occupied by Croat refugees from the Zenica municipality. (hina) ha 131850 MET jun 98
