U.N. SAYS SOME 4,500 PEOPLE LEAVE WESTERN SLAVONIA

ZAGREB, May 23 (Hina) - The number of people who have left Western Slavonia and settled in the former UN Sector East of Croatia has risen to almost 4,500, UN spokesman Christopher Gunnes said today. Gunness told a press conference in Zagreb that another 125 people had recently left Western Slavonia and crossed a Sava River bridge at Stara Gradiska into Bosnia, which brought the number of people who had left the region under UN supervision to about 2,000. The number of troops who remained in the former separation zones was now approximately the same as before May 1, Gunnes said. UN military spokesman Major William Taylor specified that about 200 troops remained in the former Sector South and 370 in the former Sector North. (hina) vm 231347 MET may 95
