SARAJEVO, Jan 28 (Hina) - The US are standing by the Contact Group
and have not changed their views about Bosnia, US Ambassador
Charles Thomas said in an interview with the Sarajevo-based daily
"Oslobodenje".
According to Thomas, the only change was the decision to
resume contacts with Pale after five months of tight international
isolation of Karadzic's Serbs.
He emphasised that the proposed peace plan hadn't been
changed.
"If both sides wish to make some changes in the maps, it's OK
with us, but we are starting from the maps proposed by the Contact
Group," Thomas said.
He described as "acceptable" President Izetbegovic's
suggestion that the Bosnian Serbs be given another two months to
accept the peace plan.
Asked about the US views on the problems in the implementation
of the Washington Accords, Thomas said his government was aware of
the difficulties and would discussed them when Premier Silajdzic
came to Washington.
As for Croatia's decision to end the UNPROFOR mandate, Thomas
was hopeful that "it won't come to that" as there were "factors
that might move President Tudjman to change his decision."
The US expect UNPROFOR to stay in Bosnia at any rate, he said.
