U.N. POLICE COMPLAIN ABOUT BOSNIAN CROAT POLICE

ZAGREB, June 19 (Hina) - Bosnian Croat police are currently causing most of the trouble to the International Police Task Force in its efforts to organize police forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina's Moslem- Croat and Serb entities, UN spokesman Alexander Ivanko said in Sarajevo on Wednesday. Speaking of recent incidents, Ivanko cited a case of four Serbs travelling through the territory of the Moslem-Croat Federation on June 1. The Serbs were detained by Croat police, unlawfully taken into custody in Livno and on June 12 transferred to a prison in west Mostar, he added. Ivanko stressed that the UN police were denied information about the case in violation of the Dayton peace agreement. Another big problem faced by the UN and other international organizations in Bosnia-Herzegovina were war crimes suspects remaining in power in the Bosnian Serb Republic, which would influence the conduct of elections in the Serb entity, the spokesman said. The UN was also concerned about the latest cases of violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina, particularly about an attack on the former Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic at a political rally in the northwestern town of Cazin last weekend.
