SARAJEVO, Aug 24 (Hina) - The commander of IFOR ground forces in
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Gen. Michael Walker, on Saturday ordered a
temporary ban on all Bosnian army convoys and flights.
The measure was prompted by the failure of the Bosnian army
to comply with military provisions of the Dayton peace agreement,
IFOR spokesman Max Marriner told a news conference in Sarajevo.
On Friday, IFOR troops stopped an unannounced Bosnian army
convoy carrying several hundred newly-trained soldiers en route
from the central town of Zenica to Bihac in northwestern Bosnia.
No permission had been requested from or granted by IFOR for the
transfer of troops.
Marriner said that the convoy had been turned back to Zenica
and that until further notice the Bosnian army was forbidden to
send its troops to the Bihac area, which he described as a
sensitive zone.
The flight ban was imposed after IFOR troops found on Friday
35 passengers, most of them soldiers, aboard two Bosnian army
helicopters. The flights had not been announced.
