U.S. AMBASSADOR ON SITUATION IN BOSNIA AND CROATIA

ZAGREB, Aug 1 (Hina) - The United States Ambassador to Croatia, Peter Galbraith, said in an interview with the Zagreb-based weekly 'Danas' which is due to come out on Tuesday that pressure would be exerted on the Bosnian Serbs until they said 'yes' to the peace plan drawn up by the five-nation Contact Group on Bosnia- Herzegovina or until the situation on the ground changed. Galbraith said the Serbs could end up getting less than what was offered at the negotiating table. He reiterated that the United States supported Bosnia-Herzegovina within its existing international borders and that it would not allow its division or annexation to Serbia. Asked why the resolution of the UNPA problem in Croatia was linked to the final settlement of the Bosnian crisis, Galbraith replied it was hard to find a solution to the UNPAs in Croatia until the situation in Bosnia did not calm down. The U.S. ambasssdor underlined that UN-imposed sanctions against Serbia would not be lifted before the resolution of the UNPA problem in Croatia. (hina) mm vm 012048 MET aug 94
