ICFY CO-CHAIRMEN SEND LETTER TO MIKELIC TODAY

ZAGREB, Dec 2 (Hina) - The International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia (ICFY) co-chairmen, Lord David Owen and Thorvald Stoltenberg, and General Pierre Peeters, sent a letter on 2 December 1994 to Borislav Mikelic, the head of the Serb delegation from UNPA. The letter reads: "We are writing to you about how UNPROFOR will conduct itself under the Agreement. Whenever it is forseen in this Agreement that UNPROFOR is to carry out certain tasks, it is understood that UNPROFOR is requested by all concerned to carry out those tasks to the best of its abilities and within its available resources and mandate, and that all concerned will extend their utmost cooperation to UNPROFOR in carrying out such tasks. In UNPA West there will be no checkpoints on the highway. Instead there will be joint patrolling of the highway by UNPROFOR vehicles accompained by one person from your police. UNPROFOR is not permitted at this stage to let goods pass through the UNPAs originating from, or destined to, the territory of the FRY (Serbia and Montenegro) or territory controlled by the Bosnian Serbs and therefore at the two checkpoints within UNPA East your police will be asked to provide assistance and to work alongside UNPROFOR. Control will however have to be exercised by UNPROFOR in order to ensure compliance with this Agreement. If you decide to establish a bus service between UNPAs Sector West and East or along other parts of the highway covered by this Agreement UNPROFOR/ECMM will be present on these buses, if requested," the letter concludes.
