U.N. WHINGES ABOUT NEGATIVE BOSNIAN GOVT MEDIA CAMPAIGN

SARAJEVO, Feb 23 (Hina) - The UN in Sarajevo today accused Bosnian media as well as civilian and military authorities, of obstructing the UN mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina with an orchestrated campaign against UN personnel. UN spokesman Alexander Ivanko said that recently the Bosnian military authorities had been obstructing the movement of UN peacekpeers and arresting UN staff. Ivanko cited as an example, the arrest four days ago of an interpreter who worked with the UN in Gorazde, and UNPROFOR engineers who were stopped last night by Bosnian military police at an approach road to Sarajevo. Two weeks ago Bosnian army troops had blocked UN Dutch peacekeepers in the eastern enclave of Srebrenica for 48 hours. He said that Sarajevo media had waged an anti-UNPROFOR campaign employing false or maliciously interpreted information. Ivanko stressed that senior Bosnian government officials were also involved in the campaign. (hina) vm 231841 MET feb 95
