OGATA CALLS A MEETING OF THREE PARTIES TO BOSNIAN CONFLICT

ZAGREB, Nov 16 (Hina) - UN High Commissioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata on Tuesday invited representatives of the three warring parties in Bosnia- Herzegovina to attend a meeting in Geneva on Thursday, 18 November. The aim of the meeting is to win assurances from all the three parties to the conflict for unimpeded passage and security of UNHCR relief convoys in Bosnia-Herzegovina, explained UNHCR spokesman Peter Kessler in Zagreb on Tuesday. Mrs Ogata's initiative has so far been accepted by Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, while answers from the Croatian and Moslem sides are still expected, said the spokesman. 161328 MET nov 93
