          RUSSIANS SUPPORT MILOSEVIC AND DEFEND KARADZIC
Belgrade, May 31, 1996 (Press TWRA) - "Negotiations were great and
I  am very satisfied with their course", Russian Foreign Minister,
Jevgenij  Primakov  stated, after yesterday's talks  with  Serbian
President  Slobodan Milosevic. Primakov concluded  Milosevic  also
tries  to fully implement all Dayton and Paris accord commitments,
in which he is fully supported by Russia. During his two-day visit
to  Belgrade,  Primakov  also talked with  Montenegrian  President
Momir  Bulatovic  as  well as with "FRY"  President  Zoran  Lilic.
Official  comment  of  this  meeting mentions  "  solving  of  the
question  of Prevlaka is very important for long-lasting peace  in
the  area".  "FRY"  Minister of justice,  Uros  Klikovac  informed
Russian  diplomat, Belgrade does not prepare any exchange  in  its
law-system  which could enable cooperation with the  Hague  Court.
Such  attitude of Belgrade concerning the issue is  close  to  the
Russian opinion, for diplomats in Primakov company claim arresting
of  Karadzic and Mladic would imperil even more seriously peace in
BH.  In  talks with Serbian Foreign Minister, Milutinovic, Russian
side  expressed readiness to reinforce "FRY" efforts to  enter  in
UN, OESC, MMF, World bank, World trade organization. (end) M.S.

          LETTER OF SWEDEN PEN TO PRESIDENT TUDJMAN
Stockhlom, May 31, 1996 (Press TWRA) - Members of Sweden PEN  sent
a  letter  to  Croatian President dr. Franjo Tudjman  due  to  the
arrestement  of  "Feral Tribune" Editor-in-Chief, Viktor  Ivancic.
"We  think  the  Government is extremely bad  advised  if  further
annoying   of  individuals,  authors  or  members  of   journalist
association  is  going  to  be  allowed.  Your  country  will   be
inevitably faced with negative international critics, in the  case
such  annoying is continued", members of Sweden PEN stated in  the
letter.  They  called Tudjman to stop such acts because,  as  they
think,  there  are  no  conditions,  in  one  democratic  country,
according  to  which systems of direct or indirect threatening  of
journalists  from the side of civil officials could  be  accepted.

          SERBS FROM MOSTAR WILL GO TO THE POLLS IN MOSTAR
Mostar,  May  31, 1996 (Press TWRA) - EU Administrator  R.  Casado
informed, on yesterday's press-conference, citizens of Mostar  who
moved, during the aggression, to third countries, will also be  in
the position to go to the local polls, our correspondent reported.
This  rule is not referred to Mostar Serbs who, according  to  the
insisting   of   the   Croatian  side,  must   vote   in   Mostar.
Representative  of  the Serb people to EU, Obren  Lozo  criticized
this  resolution, requesting Serb refugees be given right to  vote
in  the  "Serb  entity"  and  "FRY"  where  they  are  temporarily
situated.  He asked for installing of polling places in  Nevesinje
and  Belgrade. This proposal was accepted by Bosniaks but rejected
by  Croats.  Owing to such results, Bosnian Serbs  would  probably
must go to the polls directly in Mostar, but it is still uncertain
how many of them would appear. (end) M.S.


          STIPE MESIC ABOUT BH
Zagreb,  May  31, 1996 (Press TWRA) - "BH must survive  as  united
country,  for a small, fundamentalist Bosnia will be a  center  of
terrorism  and  great danger for stability in  whole  Europe.  Our
leading structures still do not understand it and keep maintaining
policy of division of BH with Milosevic. Instead of sending him  a
bill  for  all dead and injured, they fight with him to  recognize
Croatia", Stipe Mesic, HND President stated, on opposition parties
gathering, entitled "Zagreb today and Zagreb tomorrow". (end) M.S.
