          REINTEGRATION OF SARAJEVO COMPLETED
Sarajevo, March 19, 1996. (Press TWRA) - Sarajevo municipal
settlements: Grbavica and Vrace, parts of the municipalities of
Stari Grad (Old town) and Centar (Center), including a part of
Dobrinja (one part has already been under BH control, while the
third part will remain under Serbs), slopes of Trebevic mount.
(its peak remains under Serbian control) as well as the area
connecting Gorazde to Sarajevo and to the rest of BH Federation
(corridor wide some 8 to 20 kms), were reintegrated in the
territory of the BH Federation, by which the reintegration of
Sarajevo has been completed, as defined by Dayton peace-accord,
according to which a great part of 10 Sarajevo civic and suburban
municipalities enter in the BH Federation territory, while the
Serbian entity is composed of Pale, part of the municipality of
Trnovo (incl.Trnovo), Lukavica barracks and neighboring area,
situated south and southeast of the town.  
Enes Bezdrob, Commander of Sarajevo police (CSB), gave today a
guarantee for personal, proprietary and legal safety and equality
for all inhabitants of Grbavica, no matter of their nationality.
At yesterday's press-conference, IPTF porte-parole, A.Ivanko said
Sarajevo police announced that 50 to 100 federal policemen, among
whom 20 Serbs and 5 Croats, would enter Grbavica. He also added
that it is not in accordance with a pre-war census, so BH police
was requested to accommodate its personnel to the pre-war
ethnical composition of the area.
Yesterday, on the last day of the occupation of Grbavica, Serb
terrorists organized many smaller and some 20 serious fire-
raising, so Italian IFOR soldiers arrested 12 inciters and
delivered them to the Serbian police, following the orders of the
IFOR Command. Serbian police, however, immediately liberated all
of them. <end> A.S.  
     
           BH ARMY WITHDRAWAL FROM SARAJEVO BARRACKS
Sarajevo, March 19, 1996. (Press TWRA) - IFOR porte-parole, Maj.
Simon Haselock, warned that exclusively NATO forces are
responsible for safety in demarcation areas, along bordering
lines between BH entities, so the presence of any other military
forces is consequently forbidden. It is esp. related to the
situation in Sarajevo. Adm. Leighton Smith, IFOR Commander, sent
a letter, by the beginning of this week, to BH Army, HVO and
Serbian army Commanders, reminding them they were obliged to
withdraw, till the last midnight, all their military forces and
arming from the demarcation areas.  
BH government officials requested one exception to be made in
Sarajevo where several thousands of BH Army soldiers are
situated, esp. in the barrack "Marshal Tito" and in BH Army
Headquarters and BH Army First Corps HQ. But, Adm L.Smith refused
such a possibility. "We possess means to force BH Army to fulfill
its duties. We are prepared to offer even a logistic aid to the
BH Army during the evacuation of its soldiers and arms, and our
soldiers will be a guarantee for a full-safety of the inhabitants
of Sarajevo", Maj. Haselock stated. <end> A.S.
