WESTENDORP AND ZUBAK CONDEMN ATTACK ON TWO TRAVNIK POLICEMEN

( Editorial: --> 1021 ) SARAJEVO, June 13 (Hina) - The High Representative for the implementation of the Dayton peace agreement in Bosnia Saturday condemned the terrorist attack on two policemen which took place near Travnik, central Bosnia, Friday. High Representative Carlos Westendorp demanded that competent authorities expedite an investigation and arrest the perpetrators. The High Representative is greatly concerned about the attack in which Perica Bilic was killed and his colleague Almir Melic was wounded, Westendorp's spokesman Simon Haselock told Hina Saturday. It is difficult to say what lies behind the attack until the investigation is completed, Haselock said, but added it is clear the consequences are unsettling as the incident will obstruct the refugee return and the whole reconciliation process in central Bosnia. Haselock recalled the latest attack had been preceded by numerous incidents in the area. Westendorp expects local authorities to immediately arrest the culprits. Representatives of the International Police Task Force will take active part in the investigation. The attack on the two Travnik policemen was also condemned by the Croat member in Bosnia's collective Presidency, Kresimir Zubak. The latest attack was another in a series of terrorist acts against the return process and co-existence in central Bosnia, a statement from Zubak's office said. (hina) ha 131907 MET jun 98
