From: Mirjana Petrovic <almirja@cotton.vislab.olemiss.edu>
THE HAGUE - Prosecutors at the International War Crimes
Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia asked to drop a rape charge
against Dusan Tadic because one of the witnesses refused to
testify. Prosecutors stated that if the witness, a young woman
whom Tadic allegedly raped, and whose identification code is "F",
refuses to testify, the trial would not be "fair".
LONDON - A secret agreement was reached between Serbia's
president Slobodan Milosevic and the Contact Group according to
which Belgrade was due to remove the RS president Radovan Karad
zic and general Ratko Madic from their functions until February
this year, at latest, stated EU commissar Hans van den Bruck in
Washington.
ZURICH - The Swiss paper "Tagesanzeiger" writes that the EU
members are occupied with a thought how to take the initiative
over from the USA in resolving the disputes in the former B-H.
"When IFOR withdraws, European forces should take over their
role", writes the Swiss paper, quoting the EU commisar Hans van
den Bruck, who strongly interceded for a larger European involve
ment in the implementation of the Peace Accord for the former B-H.
CLEVELAND - NATO Command in B-H, especially the US admiral
Leighton Smith, is being criticised for its softness towards the
Serbs, for fearing too much for safety of his soldiers, which is
the reason why he fails to protect Muslim civilians wishing to
enter the RS. The NATO Command and admiral Smith himself stated
that "NATO soldiers, not policemen, are in Bosnia, so thy will
not interfere with the clashes of civilians".
BANJALUKA - IFOR' Sector South Command moved yesterday from
Gornji Vakuf to Banjaluka, reports AFP.
