BOSNIA MOSTLY CALM, FIGHTING IN BIHAC, SAYS UNPROFOR

SARAJEVO, June 15 (Hina) - Barring sporadic incidents, a lull has been observed on the frontlines in Bosnia-Herzegovina, said UNPROFOR spokesman in Sarajevo Major Eric Chaperon on Wednesday. He said sustained fighting was recorded only in western Bosnia, both between Abdic's units and Bosnian army, which exchanged over 100 shells, and between Bosnian army and Serb irregulars, which exchanged sixty-four shells in the vicinity of Njastre in western Bosnia this morning. Small arms fire was opened at a UNPROFOR patrol from Serb positions in the Srebrenica area, but there were no casualties. Small arms fire was also opened at a UNPROFOR patrol travelling in the northern part of the 3-km exclusion zone around Gorazde. Chaperon said UNPROFOR vehicles travelling from Sarajevo to Gorazde still had to cope with Serb obstruction. The latest incident took place two days ago, when the Serbs held up two medical vehicles belonging to the Nordic battalion. UNHCR spokesman in Sarajevo Peter Kessler said on Wednesday that seven armed men kidnapped a truck belonging to a humanitarian organisation near HVO-controlled Kiseljak in the Sarajevo area. Local police did find the truck a little later, but without attempting to investigate the case, which prompted Kessler to declare the area "unsafe." Special US coordinator for the rebuilding of Sarajevo William Eagleton said that UN Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali convened a conference on the rebuilding of Sarajevo for June 29 in New York. Eagleton said it there were real expectations the sufficient funds for rebuilding the city and repairing the roads to the Adriatic would be raised. 151518 MET jun 94
