          MUHAMED SACIRBEY AND KASIM TRNKA ON MOSTAR

Zagreb Feb 10, 1996 (Press TWRA) - M. Sacirbey till recent B-H
diplomacy head, current B-H ambassador to UN in New York, special
envoy of president Izetbegovic and B-H ambassador to Croatia
Trnka held press conference at the Zagreb airport.
     Sacirbey said: "I do not speak on behalf of B-H government
or its people but on my own. Both sides previously agreed on
compliance with Koschnick's decision. I am insulted with the
conduct of Croats in Mostar but also surprised by the fact that
the government in Zagreb supported such conduct."
     Trnka said: "B-H government endorses Koschnick's arbitration
being backed by EU and USA. It is not true that Koschnick's
arbitration opposes the B-H Federation constitution and the
Dayton accord. It was clearly defined that EU Administration is
authorized to bring decisions in Mostar and that six counties
will be established at the area of the town and the so far Mostar
county, unless EU Administration decides differently." /end/ A.S.

          POLICEMEN FROM CROATIA HAVE NOT ARRIVED AT MOSTAR

Mostar, Feb 10, 1996 (Press TWRA) - "I will stay in Mostar as
long as European Union wants that," said H. Koschnick. Asked if
his work is possible to continue when Croat authorities have
stopped cooperating with EU Administration announcing termination
of its mandate, Koschnick replied: "Those are speculations."
     Koschnick's spokesman, Dragan Gasic said that 1OO policemen
from Croatia have not arrived at Mostar today as planned. "Their
arrival is postponed as there are no grounds for their action
after Croat authorities in Mostar broke all connections with EU
Administration," says Gasic.
     Paris - French foreign minister de Charette sent a message
of support to Koschnick referring to the incidents in Mostar as
unacceptable, stressing France would let Zagreb know. /end/ A.S.
