VUKOVAR, Aug 18 (Hina) - The new UN transitional administrator
for the Danube region of eastern Croatia, U.S. diplomat William
G. Walker, arrived in Vukovar on Monday shortly after 4 p.m. He
would continue where General Jacques Klein ended, he told
reporters.
Saying he was glad to be in Vukovar, Walker said he knew
UN's mission and thought they would carry it out.
Asked about the return of displaced persons and refugees,
the new transitional administrator said he would seek ways to
step it up and carry it out.
A statement issued to reporters points out Walker's mandate
is "clear", while "aims are unchanged".
Working with the Croatian government, UNTAES will aim at
inter-ethnic reconciliation, a two-way return of displaced
persons and refugees, and the rebirth of economy and welfare of
all who live in the Croatian Danube region, the statement says.
The new transitional administrator will deepen cooperation with
all sides, it adds.
Walker flew from Zagreb to UNTAES' headquarters in Vukovar
by a UN helicopter, accompanied by his deputy, Souren
Seraydarian. Waiting for him were UNTAES' armed force commander
Major General Willie Hanset and UNTAES' head of civil affairs
Gerard Fischer.
