HVO CALLS ON BOSNIAN MOSLEMS TO END 'DIRTY WAR' AGAINST CROATS

VITEZ, March 6 (Hina) - The Croat Defence Council (HVO) in the central Bosnian town of Vitez on Wednesday called on Bosnian Moslems "to end a dirty war againt the HVO and Croats." A statement signed by HVO Vitez commander Brigadier Drago Dragicevic said that the Bosnian Moslems were waging a special war to humilitate the HVO and portray it as criminal. The blocking of Croat enclaves in central Bosnia (Usora, Vares), looting of civilian and military property, arrests, harassment and killings of civilians and HVO members (Usora, Zepce, Vares), ban on celebrating Catholic holidays (Vares), ban on the return of refugees (Bugojno, Vares), frauds at illegal customs points (Bugojno), presence of Mujaheddin forces (Zenica, Travnik, Tesanj) are only some of more than a thousand violations of the peace accords on establishing the Croat-Moslem Federation, the statement said. The HVO also drew attention to a war being waged by the Bosnian Moslem media in contravention of all the priniciples and objectives of the two nations forming the Federation and IFOR- sponsored agreements.
