U.N. SAYS SECTOR WEST RAILWAY LINE COULD OPEN IN MID APRIL PAKRAC, March 28 (Hina) - A stretch of the Zagreb-Tovarnik railway line running through UN Sector West of Croatia could open to traffic in mid April, UN Sector West spokeswoman Susan Manuel today told a press conference in Pakrac. Manuel said UN personnel provided security for Croatian repair crews working in the Serb-occupied area, emphasizing that each worker was guarded by two UN soldiers. Asked who financed the repair of the railway line, Manuel said it was yet to be decided who would pay for the most expensive repair operations. She added that material had been provided by the Croatian side. Commenting on the presence of armed Serbs along the Zagreb- Lipovac highway in Sector West, she said it was because Serbs were nervous over a new UN mandate. (hina) mm vm 281856 MET mar 95
