SERBS DECIDE NOT TO LEAVE SARAJEVO

SARAJEVO, Jan 22 (Hina) - Sarajevo Mayor Tarik Kupusovic spoke at today's press conference about yesterday's meeting between Sarajevo municipal representatives and Bosnian Serb representatives from the suburb of Ilidza. Yesterday's meeting was the first meeting between representatives of legal municipal bodies and the Serb officials from Ilidza. The meeting focused on the implementation of the Dayton agreement, the return of displaced persons and the decision by the Ilidza Serbs to leave the suburb in great numbers. 'The Serb delegation has informed us that the Serbs had demanded to be relocated from Ilidza to the area of Bijeljina and Foca. Obviously, they have given up the idea, because there is no more room in those two cities. The Serbs have decided to remain where they are, but they want amnesty in case they stay in Ilidza', Mayor Kupusovic said. (hina) rm jn 222201 MET jan 96
