SPLIT, Nov 22 (Hina) - The first humanitarian convoy to central Bosnia will leave from an UNPROFOR British base in Tomislavgrad early Wednesday morning.

Reith, and the commander of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO), General Ante Roso, held in Tomislavgrad on Monday. The convoy will be escorted by the British Battalion. General Roso assumed commitments that everything would be done to secure free and unhindered passage for relief convoys travelling through HVO-held areas. He pledged the HVO would open a mountain route from Tomislavgrad via Mount Vran to Prozor, Gornji Vakuf and further on to Travnik and Vitez. The convoy will consist of 36 British military vehicles and will dispatch 260 cubic metres of humanitarian aid. 222142 MET nov 93
