"We have agreed to do everything to prevent the violations of
peace and order in Mostar," Prskalo said, adding that it was
suspected that the incidents in Mostar were organized.
Stressing that incidents were harmful to both the Croat and
Moslem people, Prskalo called on the residents of Mostar to show
that they did not support such incidents.
He added that the west (Croat-held) part of town had done a
lot to enable evictions from apartments which, he said, "have
almost ended".
Orucevic said that mechanisms for the prevention o ill-doings
in Mostar would be created with the realization of agreed measures
signed by president and deputy president of the Bosnian Federation
Kresimir Zubak and Ejup Ganic in Sarajevo recently, in the presence
of a US mediator, John Kornblum.
Orucevic said that the Security Service Centre in Mostar had
apprehended a group of Moslems in eastern Mostar on Wednesday for
beating a Croat on Mostar's main street, Bulevar. They were handed
over to the public attorney's office.
Orucevic stressed that it was necessary to apprehend all those
who stoned vehicles and abused Croats on the Bulevar road, adding
that western Mostar authority had to do the same to those evicting
Moslems from their apartments.
Orucevic recalled that the Moslem side had already adopted a
draft statute of the city on the establishment of six city
municipalities, and added that the Croat side was expected to do
the same.
