their homes could soon leave the area because of threats. It is
being systematically carried out in Ilidza area and, in certain
cases, Federal police encouraged or tolerated a violent behavior,
so it can not be treated as sporadic incidents, incited by groups
out of the control of authority", IPTF spokesman, A.Ivanko said.

Sarajevo, because Bosniaks refuse to carry out the BH Federal law
on interior affairs", BH Federation President, K. Zubak said. 
     "Serb representatives in Ilidza say they would feel safer if
Croats from Kiseljak were included in police units", Ivanko said.
