SAYS COT, TIME HAS COME FOR THE USE OF FORCE

ZAGREB, Nov 11 (Hina) - The United Nations Force Commander in the former Yugoslavia, General Jean Cot, told a news conference in Zagreb on Thursday that the time had come for the use of force in order to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to Bosnia-Herzegovina. The French General said that UNPROFOR could use the force at a local level but that for a large-scale operation it would need additional forces. General Cot recalled the recent kidnap of two officials of the Sarajevo Police Department from a UN vehicle. "If the UN commander in Sarajevo could send reinforcements to surround the Serb tanks and soldiers who kidnapped the people, we would have thwarted their plans," he said. 111716 MET nov 93
