ARMS DELIVERY SHOULDN'T BE CONDITIONAL ON CENGIC'S DISMISSAL-SDA P

P $ ARTY SARAJEVO, Oct 31 (Hina) - A deputy to the (Croat-Moslem) Bosnian Federation Defence Minister, Hasan Cengic, whose dismissal was demanded by the United States as condition of American delivery of an arms shipment to the Federation Army, is enjoying the full support by the (leading Moslem Party of the Democratic Union or SDA. A spokesman for the SDA party, Ismet Grbo, said Thursday that Cengic "is a respectable official and a public figure,". He described Cengic's engagement in politics during the war as entirely honourable. "There is no reason for linking the postponement of the arms delivery with the Cengic case," Grbo said claiming that exact reasons for delay were the unloading and transport of weaponry still aboard a ship at the Adriatic Sea.
