          HIDAJET DELIC STILL IN SERB CAPTIVITY

Sarajevo, Feb 29, 1996 (Press TWRA) - Photo-reporter of B-H state
news agency B-H Press, Hidajet Delic has been in Karadzic's Serb
captivity for more than three weeks, though Serbs do not charge
him with war crimes or any other atrocities. The Pale authorities
refuse to release Delic who was captured by deceit in retaliation
for capturing gen. Djordje Djukic and col. Aleksa Krsmanovic. The
OSCE representatives who visited him two days ago, failed in
releasing Delic, although they said Serbs had to release him at
once and unconditionally. B-H journalists announced boycott of
the international representatives particularly C. Bildt and
Robert Frowick until Delic was released. /end/ A.S.

          FR YUGOSLAVIA - NATO

Belgrade, Feb 29, 1996 (Press TWRA) - "We have not been invited
to join the NATO Partnership for Peace program. Yugoslavia should
consider joining the program or NATO itself and also some new
organization or a form of military cooperation. We should be
given the choice," said FRY defence minister Pavle Bulatovic for
the Yugoslav Radio. /end/ A.S.

          SILAJDZIC CRITICISES SDA

London, Feb 29, 1996 (Press TWRA) - In the interview for the
British daily "The Guardian", Bosnian ex-prime minister Haris
Silajdzic accused the three leading parties to B-H i.e. SDA-Party
of Democratic Action, Croatian Democratic Union-HDZ and SDS Serb
Democratic Party of wishing, contrary to the Dayton accord, to
divide B-H into three parts. Silajdzic says that SDA used typical
communist methods to deny the access to media. He also criticises
appointing B-H Army generals and Islamic religious officials in
the SDA leadership - "that all reminds of a bad replica of the
communist system." On Serbs fleeing from Sarajevo, Silajdzic
says: "Karadzic's main goal is carve-up of Bosnia. If they drive
Serbs out of Sarajevo, he knows that Bosniaks and Croats cannot
return to Republic Srpska, that is the aim in whose realization
the international community takes part, too as it suits them.
Silajdzic claims the B-H Federation became only a facade for
establishment of two separate ethnic states. He warns the failure
of Federation means the failure of the Dayton accord resulting in
establishment of the rump muslim state squeezed between Greater
Serbia and Greater Croatia. "B-H army was fighting against such
outcome but the SDA leaders were ready to accept more power on a
small area rather than less power in integral Bosnia," says
Silajdzic while The Guardian's journalist concludes that by
prognosis of B-H ex-prime minister and president for B-H
government, radicalization of a muslim mini-state is to follow
and another war in 5 years at most in which Serbia and Croatia
would try to divide the muslim remnant of Bosnia. /end/ A.S.�## CrossPoint v3.02 ##
