  • [01] MILOSEVIC RECEIVES BILDT

    B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - President of the Yugoslav Republic of Serbia Slobodan Milosevic received in Belgrade on Wednesday International Community's High Representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina Carl Bildt and his associates.

    The meeting was devoted to upcoming elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina and further steps by involved political factors in the process of a successful and full implementation of the Dayton peace agreement signed last year.

    The meeting voiced expectation that all participants would continue to consistently implement the provisions of the peace agreement which is the mainspring for strengthening peace, stability and global consolidation of the political situation in the Balkans.

    The meeting was also attended by Yugoslav Foreign Minister Milan Milutinovic.

    [02] BILDT: BOSNIA ELECTION DELAY WILL NOT DELAY LIFTING OF SANCTIONS

    B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - The delay in holding municipal elections in Bosnia will in no way affect the lifting of sanctions against the F.R.Y. ten days after Bosnia's general elections, the International Community's High Representative Carl Bildt said at a news conference on Wednesday.

    [03] KORNBLUM: SANCTIONS TO BE LIFTED AFTER BOSNIA ELECTIONS

    W a s h i n g t o n, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - Assistant U.S. Secretary of State John Kornblum said Wednesday that the anti-Yugoslav economic sanctions would be lifted ten days after elections in Bosnia, as provided for under the Dayton peace accords.

    Kornblum told a news conference that the only hitch would be if the legitimacy of the elections was challenged, which was not expected to happen.

    [04] BULATOVIC: BOSNIA VOTE WILL LIFT ANTI-YUGOSLAV SANCTIONS

    N e w Y o r k, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - The Yugoslav Republic of Montenegro's President said on Wednesday that time had come to lift the U.N. sanctions against the F.R.Y.

    President Momir Bulatovic was speaking to reporters at U.N. headquarters after meeting with U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

    Bulatovic said that under the Dayton accords, Bosnian elections, scheduled for Sept. 14, were the last condition for lifting the sanctions and returning Yugoslavia to international bodies.

    The Wednesday meeting focused on the peace process in former Yugoslavia, the Bosnia elections, the lifting of the anti-Yugoslav sanctions, Yugoslavia's reincorporation in international bodies and the question of the strategic Prevlaka peninsula.

    In answer to a reporter's question, Bulatovic repeated the Montenegrin position that the strategic peninsula on Montenegro's Adriatic coast that straddles the Yugoslav-Croatian border should be part of the state where the peninsula has its natural hinterland. In this case, that is the entire bay of Boka Kotorska (in Montenegro), he explained.

    Bulatovic arrived in Washington late on Wednesday to meet with U.S. administration officials and congressmen.

    [05] U.N. OBSERVER MISSION ON PREVLAKA UNTIL FINAL SOLUTION OF DISPUTE

    B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - The U.N. observer mission will remain on Prevlaka until the final solution of its status. This was assessed at talks Tuesday between Yugoslav Deputy Minister for Internal Affairs Milisav Markovic and the Chief of the U.N. mission on Prevlaka, Colonel Goran Gunarsoen.

    Markovic and Gunarsoen pointed out that the process of normalization of relations between the F.R.Y. and the Republic of Croatia had created conditions for the lasting solution of the Prevlaka issue through bilateral talks, the Federal Secretariat for Information said.

    It was assessed at the talks that the U.N. observer mission on Prevlaka was an important factor for guaranteeing peace and stability in the region.

    Competent F.R.Y. bodies will assist the observer mission in carrying out the duties within its mandate, the statement said.

    The mandate of the U.N. observer mission on Prevlaka has been extended by Security Council Resolution 1066 for another six months, till July 15.

    [06] FIRST RESULTS IN EXHUMATION OF ALLEGED MASS GRAVE OF OVCARE

    V u k o v a r, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - Representatives of the Hague Tribunal said in Vukovar on Wednesday that several bodies had been exhumed from an alleged mass grave of Ovcare, Eastern Slavonia, but that nothing would be known before the next stage of the exhumation.

    The legal expert of the International Tribunal for War Crimes in the Former Yugoslavia, Clint Williamson, said that judging by the findings made so far, nothing indicated that wounded soldiers from Vukovar hospital were buried there.

    Croatia claims that executed civilians and the remains of Croatian soldiers, who were in Vukovar hospital when Serbs entered the town after several-month fighting in 1991, are buried in Ovcare.

    The head of the Tribunal's medical team, William Haglund, told a news conference in Vukovar that the body of a middle aged man in civilian clothes with traces of wounds on the head and neck had been exhumed.

    The other bodies were found along the edge of the grave whose dimensions are 6 x 8 metres. The exhumation, which started on September 1, will last six weeks.

    [07] APPLICATION STARTS OF KOSOVO-METOHIJA SCHOOL ACCORD

    B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - The Government of the Yugoslav Republic of Serbia appointed on Wednesday a task force for implementing a recent accord on returning ethnic Albanian students and teachers to schools in Serbia's Kosovo-Metohija Province.

    According to a Government statement, the members of the task force are Serbian Minister Ratomir Vico, Yugoslav Parliament member Goran Percevic and researcher Dobrosav Bjeletic.

    On Sept. 1, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and ethnic Albanian leader Ibrahim Rugova signed the accord normalising the school system in the province.

    [08] SERBIAN PARLIAMENT EXPECTED TO PASS PRIVATIZATION LAW IN FALL

    B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - Work on a draft law on privatization in Serbia is in its final stage, and will most likely be put to vote at the parliament's session next fall, said Serbian Minister for Entrepreneurship Radoje Djukic.

    The Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti on Wednesday said Djukic had declined to reveal the details of the transformation of socially-owned firms in Serbia, as the draft was a working one. He said there had been no resistance to privatization in Serbia, adding that the Government had approached the task with great responsibility.

    The private sector in Serbia was creating 50 percent of the social product and employed about one million people. He said there was no need to fear foreign investments arriving in Yugoslavia.

    Since the suspension of the sanctions late last year, about 1,000 foreign firms had concluded joint investment deals with Yugoslav companies. Most of the foreign firms were from Western Europe.
