According to UN spokesman Alexander Ivanko, 16 Moslems
returned to their flats in western Mostar on Thursday. No evictions
were recorded that day, for the first time since the incidents that
started, Ivanko said.
However, full freedom of movement was not restored yet, Ivanko
said, adding that western Mostar police, in contravention of what
had been agreed, still checked the documents of people crossing
from the eastern bank.
All checkpoints in Mostar should be removed and SFOR
representatives would do their best to restore full freedom of
movement, SFOR representative Andrew Saddleton said.
SFOR personnel were still engaged in confiscating unauthorised
weapons. Two machine-guns, a revolver, a rocket launhcer and a
certain amount of ammunition had so far been confiscated from
western Mostar civilians and police, Saddleton specified.
