BILDT'S OFFICE CONDEMNS VIOLENCE THE MILOSEVIC REGIME USES AGAINST

AGAINST $ PROTESTERS SARAJEVO, Feb 3 (Hina) - The office of Carl Bildt, the top international peace administrator in Bosnia-Herzegovina, on Monday deplored thoroughly violence which Serbian police used against demonstrators in Belgrade on Sunday night and warned Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic that he would face consequences, unless such acts stopped. President Milosevic had to give up using violence and abandon forever the thought that the crisis in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia/Montenegro) could be settled if elections results were disregarded, a spokesman for Bildt said at a news conference in Sarajevo. The spokesman Colum Murphy said the crisis in Belgrade and other Serbian towns could be overcome only through dialogue and political compromise, and warned that the international community would strongly condemn any other attempt such as violence to settle the problem. The Bildt's office requested from Milosevic to show restraint, and accept dialogue and respect for the elections results. (hina) mš 031335 MET feb 97
