SERIOUS INCIDENTS IN SARAJEVO AND BIHAC

SARAJEVO, Feb 10 (Hina) - Three serious violations of the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities were recorded in Sarajevo and the Bihac area yesterday, the UN in Sarajevo said today. UNPROFOR Spokesman in Sarajevo, Gary Coward, said Bosnian Serbs yesterday attacked Bosnian army positions near the Jewish cemetery and seriously violated a ceasefire agreement. Coward said Serb forces opened several missiles fire at an empty concrete shelter that Bosnian Army soldiers had recently built and left after a Serb protest to UNPROFOR. UN military observers continued with reports on the building new trenches, particurlarly between Sarajevo boroughs of Ilidza and Butmir, and that could lead to the new incidents. Building up new trenches and strengthening old ones, according to Coward, were considered as a violation of cessation on hostilities. Coward also said Bosnian Serb forces in Zavalja yesterday in an infantry attack supported by the heavy artillery of Croatian rebel Serbs on the villages of Vedro Polje and Zegar near Bihac in northwest Bosnia, gained 2-4 km of the territory. UN military observers reported two mortar shells fired at Bihac but did not cause any victims. In Velika Kladusa area 44 detonations were recorded. Bangladeshi 'blue helmets' were again allowed to visit Bosanska Krupa surroundings, the sight of clashes in recent days between the Bosnian Army and Serbs. (Hina) rv as sd 101419 MET feb 95
