 REPUBLIKA SRPSKA WINS EQUALITY AND LEGALISATION

 B e l g r a d e, Sept 10 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav Foreign

Minister Milan Milutinovic and Vice-President of the Bosnian Serb

Republic Republika Srpska (RS) Nikola Koljevic expressed optimism

after the Geneva meeting regarding further developments since

Republika Srpska had won equality and legalisation before the

international community.

 Milutinovic and Koljevic were speaking in a talk show on

Radio Television Serbia Sunday with Tanjug diplomatic

correspondent Zoran Jevdjevic.

 Minister Milutinovic said that under the Agreement on the

Basic Principles of the future division of Bosnia, Republika

Srpska and the Muslim-Croat Federation would keep their present

constitutions, meaning that each entity would be independent on

its own territory.

 Milutinovic said that it was clear from the agreement that

the Republika Srpska could establish confederal relations with

Yugoslavia, considering that Muslims and Croats had established

such links with Zagreb under the Washington agreement.

 Bombing of the Bosnian Serb Republic must immediately stop

if the process is to be brought to an end and an agreement is to

be reached, Milutinovic said. He said that no peace package,

including the one for which the basis were established in

Geneava, 'can be separated from the question of sanctions.'

 There can be no negotiations without the lifting of the

sanctions, since they were introduced because of Yugoslavia's

alleged involvment in Bosnia they must be lifted when an

agreement in Bosnia is reached, Milutinovic said.

 Koljevic said that one of the key results of the agreement

reached in geneva was the legalisation of Republika Srpska as an

equal entity in Bosnia, on the basis of which guarantees exist

that Bosnian Serbs will participate equally in decisions

regarding the political future of Bosnia-Herzegovina. 'We shall

have our territorial integrity and be protected from political

domination,' Kojlevic said. He also mentioned the parallel rights

to the establishment of confederal relations of the Muslim-Croat

Federation with Zagreb and Republika Srpska with Belgrade.



 IVANOV: GEN. MLADIC READY TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO SARAJEVO

 M o s c o w, Sept. 10 (Tanjug) - Bosnian Serb Army Commander

Gen.Ratko Mladic is ready for concessions to improve access to

Sarajevo, but he will not withdraw heavy weapons from around the

city, First Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said

Sunday. In a statement to Itar-Tass, Ivanov, who met with Gen.

Mladic on Saturday, said the Bosnian Serb Commander had expressed

readiness immediately to start talks on peace with Croatian and

Muslim Commanders if NATO stopped the bombing.

 The Russian official said it was his impression after the

meeting in Geneva that NATO member-countries were looking for a

way to stop the air strikes, but did not know how to go about it.

'For this reason the proposals of Gen.Mladic give the West a

chance to appropriately weight them and sit at the negotiating

table,' Ivanov told Itar-Tass.



 SCHOOLS CLOSED BECAUSE OF NATO ATTACKS

 B a n j a l u k a, Sept 9 (Tanjug) - NATO on Saturday

mounted several air strikes on civilian and military targets in

the western part of the Republika Srpska, Tanjug correspndent

reports quoting Bosnian Serb military sources. The attacks were

launched at 5:00 hours local time on the wider area of Banjaluka.

 NATO planes also dropped bombs on Sanica, the largest suburb

in the Kljuc municipality, which fell very close to the school,

the kindergarten and private houses. All schools were closed in

the Banjaluka area because of the bombing and all public

gatherings postponed until further notice.

 NATO planes also bombed an area 10km west of Kljuc towards

Petrovac, and several targets in the area of the municipality of

Krupa na Uni.



 NATO COMMAND SAYS BOMBING OF BOSNIAN SERBS CONTINUES

 R o m e, Sept. 9 (Tanjug) - Chief of air operations of

NATO's Southern Command British Col.Trevor Murray said Saturday

evening that attacks on Bosnian Serbs would continue. There have

been no significant movements of Serb troops around Sarajevo so

the bombings continue, Murray told reporters at NATO's South Wing

Command in Naples. Murrey denied any responsibility of the NATO

air force in the massacre at the Serb hospital in Blazuj near

Sarajevo. He said he did not rule out the possibility that the

hospital had been hit by howizters of the U.N. Rapid Reaction

Force deployed on Mt. Igman near Sarajevo.



 NATO CONTINUES BOMBING OF BOSNIAN SERB REPUBLIC

 B a n j a l u k a, Sept. 10 (Tanjug) - The Information

Service of the General Staff of the Bosnian Serb Army said NATO

warplanes continued to attack Bosnian Serb territory during the

night and on Sunday. NATO planes bombed the wider area of the

northwestern town of Banjaluka. A Television relay and PTT system

were the targets.

 Early on Sunday, NATO again bombed the wider area of Mt.

Majevica in northeastern Bosnia. In parallel with the NATO

bombing, Muslim artillery shelled the area from the direction of

the town of Tuzla.

 NATO dropped cluster bombs and missiles on a refugee camp in

the town of Han Pijesak.

 NATO also bombed the wider area of the towns of Jasenica and

Krupa on the Una in western Bosnia. Krupa was also shelled by

Muslim artillery units from the left bank of the Una river.

 Territory in the East of the Bosnian Serb Republic, in

particular the free territory of Gorazde and the municipalities

of Sokolac and Rogatica were again bombed by NATO, the statement

said.

 U.N. Rapid Reaction Force units deployed on Mt. Igman

shelled urban areas of Serb Sarajevo, causing even more damage to

these districts.

 Several thousand shells fell deep inside Serb territory

'backed by NATO bombs and bombs dropped by the Croatian air

force,' the Bosnian Serb Army statement said.



 NATO BOMBS AREA OF KALESIJA AND TUZLA

 Z v o r n i k, Sept. 10 (Tanjug) - NATO forces on Sunday

repeatedly bombed civilian and military targets in the Serb

municipality of Kalesija in the northeast of Bosnia-Herzegovina,

Bosnian Serb military sources said. The exact number of civilians

killed in the bombing in the area of Kalesija has yet to be

determined and there are many wounded. Material damages are

heavy, the sources said.

 A statement by the Bosnian Serb Army Drina Corps said this

was direct support to a Muslim attack on Serb positions on Mt.

Majevica and around Kalesija early on Sunday. Meanwhile, major

buster hows, a Spokesman for the U.N. Rapid Reaction Force, said

NATO planes bombed Serb targets around the town of Tuzla in

northeastern Bosnia-Herzegovina on Sunday.

 Associated Press reported from Sarajevo that Maj. Hows said

the NATO attacks were retaliation for Serb shelling of Tuzla

which is a U.N. Protected Area.

 On Sunday Serb positions in southeastern areas of Sarajevo

were also bombed.



 U.S. SERBS PROTEST OVER NATO'S INTERVENTION IN BOSNIA

 B e l g r a d e, Sept 10 (Tanjug) - Several thousand Serbs

protested in downtown Washington D.C. on Saturday over a U.S.

involvement in NATO air strikes against Bosnian Serb targets.

Serb protesters came to Washington by buses and cars from

Pittsburgh, Boston and other cities on the East Coast, staging

their protest outside the white house and the Holocast Memorial

Museum, news agencies reported. Demonstrators protested also over

the further maintaining of the sanctions against Yugoslavia and

over the U.S. policy toward Croatia.

 Slogans and banners expressed embitterment by the U.S.

policy. Some of them said that the U.S. was the destroyer of

peace rather than its creator, that the U.S. was supporting

genocide against the Serbs and that Croatia was a nazi state

created by Hitler in 1941 and restored by the U.S. in 1991.

 A message to U.S. President Bill Clinton said Hitler would

be proud of him. Protesters said Senator Bob Dole, who is

lobbying in the Senate for Bosnian Muslims and ethnic Albanians

in Serbia's southern province of Kosovo-Metohija, was a war

merchant.

 Protesters stopped outside the Holocaust Museum, in memory

of victims of nazism in World War II, and voiced a message that

Serbs had fought against nazism, whereas Croats and Muslims had

supported Hitler. Daniela Sremac of the Serb-U.S. Relations

Council said the Serb protest outside the Holocaust Museum was

aimed at drawing the Jewish Community's attention to an extremely

powerful Muslim-Croat propaganda.



 AGREEMENT ON REFUGEES AT U.N. BASE IN KNIN

 Z a g r e b, Sept. 9 (Tanjug) - U.N. Special Envoy Yasushi

Akashi said on Saturday he had reached agreement with the

Croatian authorities to allow more than 700 Serb refugees to

leave the U.N. base in Knin. The agreement was reached in Zagreb

at a meeting between Akashi and Head of Croatia's Presidential

Cabinet Hrvoje Sarinic.

 Akashi said he believed the refugees would be able to leave

for Yugoslavia in the next few days.

 Among the refugees are 62 persons accused by the Croatian

authorities of alleged war crimes. Akashi said investigations

would be carried out according to international legal standards

and procedures.

 U.N. preacekeepers will negotiate the details of

implementing the agreement with Croatian Commander for Knin Gen.

Ivan Cermak.

 Akashi also said there was progress in stabilizing the

situation in eastern Slavonija. He said representatives from both

sides, Gen.Djuro Decak and Dusan Lonar, would in the next few

days meet to discuss the lines of separation and the withdrawal

of weapons.

 YUGOSLAV DAILY SURVEY



 YUGOSLAVIA PROPOSES INT'L CONFERENCE ON EXPELLED KRAJINA SERBS

 G e n e v a, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - A Yugoslav delegation

for humanitarian questions Monday arrived in Geneva with the

aim of internationalizing the problem of exodus of more than

160,000 expelled Serbs from Krajina.

 We propose the holding of an international conference

solely devoted to the problems related to expelled Serbs from

Krajina, said the Head of the Yugoslav delegation, Federal

Government Minister and Coordinator for Humanitarian

Questions, Tomica Raicevic. He stated the hope that this

conference would be held by the end of this month in Geneva.

 He pointed out that Yugoslavia, which was under

sanctions, could not resolve the problem of the large number

of refugees. Two-three years ago, about 500,000 refugees

arrived to Yugoslavia (from the former Yugoslav Republics

Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina), and the problem of refugees

became even more severe at this time when a wave of over

160,000 expelled Serbs from Krajina arrived. 'We are grateful

for the international relief aid sent so far, but it is

insufficient and we believe it must become more pronounced,'

said Raicevic.

 In the next two days, the Yugoslav delegation was

expected to meet with top officials of international

humanitarian organizations. The delegation would hold talks at

the ICRC, followed by UNHCR, UNICEF, the WHO and the High

Commissioner's Office for Human Rights.



 KARADZIC: NATO ATTACKS ARE ENDANGERING PEACE PLAN

 B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - President of the

Republika Srpska (Serb Republic) Radovan Karadzic on Monday

threatened to withdraw from peace talks begun in Geneva three

days ago because of NATO attacks on the Bosnian Serbs.

 'In the light of the continuing attacks, at the receiving

end of which are mostly civilians, the Republika Srpska may

well have to reconsider its further participation in peace

talks,' said Karadzic in an open letter to U.S President Bill

Clinton, Russia's Boris Yeltsin and Britain's John Major.

 'NATO has declared war on the Serbs,' said Karadzic.

 In the letter, Karadzic said it was incomprehensible that

the international community could invest so much effort into

peace talks while at the same time sending jets and missiles

against a party to that process, said Reuters.



 MLADIC-JANVIER TALKS FAIL, NATO ATTACKS RENEWED

 B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - Talks between

Commanders of the U.N. force in former Yugoslavia Gen. Bernard

Janvier and of the Bosnian Serb Army Gen. Ratko Mladic were

not successful, the French Defense Ministry said Monday.

 A brief statement said the meeting had been held on

Sunday afternoon and that Gen. Mladic had rejected Gen.

Janvier's proposals, AP reported from Paris.

 The meeting, which was most probably held in the town of

Mali Zvornik in the west of the Yugoslav Republic of Serbia,

had been organized and announced by French President Jacques

Chirac on Sunday. Chirac said NATO would suspend air strikes

against Serb targets' for several hours' to enable the meeting

to take place.



 MLADIC-JANVIER MEETING: NATO IGNORED CHIRAC'S GUARRANTEES

 B a n j a l u k a, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - NATO ignored

promises by Paris and failed to stop air strikes against the

Bosnian Serbs on Sunday afternoon during a meeting between

Bosnian Serb Army Commander Gen.Ratko Mladic and U.N.

Commander for the former Yugoslavia Gen.Bernard Janvier.

 The Bosnian Serb Army Command said on Monday that

Gen.Mladic demanded from Gen.Janvier that NATO stops its

bombardement during the meeting, but that the French General

did not manage to secure this.

 On Monday Mladic demanded that Janvier inform the world

that NATO had put itself above the U.N., that it had changed

the mandate of the U.N. peacekeepers in Bosnia and had simply

sided with the Muslims and Croats by razing civilian targets,

and the economic and military potentials of the Bosnian Serb

State Republika Srpska.

 Mladic demanded that the air raids stop for the duration

of the talks and cited international laws under which all

combat operations should be halted during negotiations.

 The Bosnian Serb Army said that French President Jacques

Chirac had agreed to this and publically given his

guarrantees. The Bosnian Serb Army said that NATO ignored

Chirac's demands and carried out new massive aerial attacks on

Republika Srpska at 3:15p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4:45 p.m. and 4:50

p.m. local time, thus making Gen.Janvier late for his meeting

with Gen. Mladic. The meeting was delayed until 5:30 local

time. The meeting was then again cut short to enable Janvier

to secure a temporary end of the air strikes, the Bosnian Serb

Army said. Hawever, at 7:15 p.m. local time, NATO warplanes

destroyed the television and telecommunication system Stolice

on Mt. Majevica, in northeastern Republika Srpska. The Bosnian

Serb Army said that at 8:00 p.m. Janvier informed Mladic he

was unable to stop the NATO planes and that the decision to

resume the air strikes was made without consultation with him

and the U.N. Command.

 After this, the Mladic-Janvier meeting was called off.

Janvier promised to immediately leave for the U.N.

Headquarters in Zagreb to secure the halting of the air raids

and create new conditions for the continuation of the talks.



 NATO LAUNCHES MASSIVE AIRSTRIKES ON BANKALUKA REGION

 B e l g r a d e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - The Bosnian Serb

Army Command has said there are many dead and wounded after

Sunday evening's massive NATO airstrikes on the region of

Banjaluka. The majority of the wounded civilians remain buried

under the destroyed buildings. The bombs hit the water supply

system, electric power lines, cut telecommunication links and

damaged other infrastructure facilities in this city in the

northwest of Republika Srpska.

 The Bosnian Serb Army issued a statement at 1:00 a.m

local time saying that the massive blitz on the Banjaluka

region started on Sunday at 9:30 p.m. local time.

 The statement said that waves of dozens of warplanes

dumped 500-1,000 kg bombs and missiles.

 The area had been hit by 13 Toamhawk cruise missiles

fired from missle cruiser USS Normandy stationed in the

Adriatic.

 The Bosnian Serb Army said that on Sunday NATO stepped up

its air raids and that under cover of these attacks, as well

as those by the U.N. Rapid Reaction Force, the Muslim-Croat

troops had launched offensives on several fronts.

 On Sunday NATO warplanes continued pounding civilian

facilities in the region of the towns of Nevesinje, Srbinje

(former Foca) and Gorazde, as well as the hydroelectric power

plant in Visegrad, close to the Yugoslav border.

 On Sunday afternoon NATO provided direct air support to

the Muslim troops in the Mt. Majevica and Kalesija fronts in

northeastern Bosnia and launched four assaults on the Serb

settlements in the region of Sekovici.



 NATO CONTINUES BOMBING SARAJEVO, BANJALUKA AREAS

 B a n j a l u k a, Sept 11 (Tanjug) - NATO warplanes

early on Monday continued air strikes against Bosnian Serb

civilian and military targets in the areas of Sarajevo and

Banjaluka, the biggest Bosnian Serb town in the West, the

Bosnian Serb Army General Staff said. Since it started attacks

on Bosnian Serbs on August 30, NATO has carried out about

2,800 air strikes, reconnaisance and support flights,

destroying civilian targets throughout Republika Srpska. NATO

bombings had killed and wounded many people, burying many

civilians under the rubble and still making their number

difficult to determine.





NATO PLANES BLAST RED CROSS FOOD STOREHOUSE IN KALINOVIK
(HERZEGOV

INA)

 B i l e c a, Sept 11 (Tanjug) - NATO planes continued

Monday airstrikes against Serb parts of Herzegovina, the Serb

Command said. A squadron of about ten NATO bombers dropped

early Monday morning several dozen rockets and heavy bombs on

the small Herzegovina town of Kalinovik. Civilian residential

and other buildings were hit, some of them razed to the

ground. A number of civilians, including women and children,

have been wounded in the air strike on Kalinovik.

 The water supply and power network have been completely

destroyed in the town and surrounding settlements. Besides

military facilities, a Red Cross food storehouse was

destroyed.

 Certain places in Herzegovina have come under carpet

bombing, razing many facilties to the ground.

 NATO airstrikes are followed by artillery attacks by the

Croatian Army, especially from the Trebinje area.

 The Herzegovina Command Corps said that the objective of

the airstrikes is to test the resolve of the Serb defense and

to inflict as many casualities as possible to Republika Srpska

army units.



 MORE NATO ATTACKS ON BOSNIAN SERBS

 S r b i n j e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - NATO warplanes

attacked civilian targets around Srbinje (former Foca) in

southeastern Republika Srpska (Bosnian Serb Republic) at 3

p.m. (1300) Monday, Bosnian Serb military sources have said.

Bombings of several localities occur in waves, involving

dozens of aircraft, said the sources. Residential and other

buildings have been hit. A morning attack on Trovrh, around

Gorazde, a U.N. 'Safe Area', from 10.50 to 10.57 (0850-0857

gmt), destroyed a civilian target, the Banjaluka Information

Center said.



ITALY'S AGNELLI: LONG-TERM NATO BOMBING COULD BE
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE

 R o m e, Sept. 11 (Tanjug) - Italian Foreign Minister

Susanna Agnelli on Monday informed her E.U. colleagues that

she feared that a long-term bombing of Bosnian Serb lines

might be counterproductive to the set peace goals.

 Briefing the Italian press on the E.U. ministerial

meeting held in Santander, Spain, on Sunday, Agnelli said all

E.U. member countries were disturbed by and concerned about

the Russian Parliament's request to President Boris Yeltsin

that the sanctions against Yugoslavia be unilaterally lifted

and the partnership for peace arrangement with NATO rejected.

 Agnelli said the Duma (the Russian Parliament Lower

House) decision clearly indicated that the Russian public

condemned the developments in the former Yugoslavia, in

particular the bombing of the Bosnian Serbs.

 She said the E.U. regarded as vital Russia's presence in

the Bosnia peace process.

 INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY NOT READY TO HALT THE WAR



 B e l g r a d e, Sept. 12 (Tanjug) - Foreign Minister of

Republika Srpska Aleksa Buha said Tuesday that the international

community had still not confirmed its readiness to halt the war

in the former Bosnia-Herzegovina.

 In a statement to Serb radio Buha said that the bombing of

Bosnian Serbs by NATO could halt the peace process and lead to an

even more tragic situation than the one now, perhaps the most

serious situation since the breakout of the civil war in

Bosnia-Herzegovina.

 The international community is now appearing in the form of

NATO which had relentlessly continued bombing Serb civilian and

military targets while the talks in Geneva were underway, Buha

said. 'If the peace process has begun then it is necessary to

conclude an agreement on a lasting cessation of hostilities,'

Buha said adding that this was also called for at the Geneva

meeting.



 NATO CONTINUES AIR STRIKES



 Banja Luka, Doboj, Sept. 12 (Tanjug) - NATO continued air

strikes against the Republika Srpska, inflicting extensive damage

on civilian targets, the Bosnian Serb Army said Tuesday.

 The Bosnian Serb Army General Staff said in a statement that

several waves of NATO air raids had hit Serb districts of

Sarajevo, the surrounding settlements of Vogosca and Hadzici and

the area of Pale. NATO's 500-1,000 kg bombs hit several

residential buildings in Vogosca, destroyed its water and power

supplies, put its access roads out of use and left several

buildings ablaze.

 The statement said NATO raids had been concerted with

Bosnian Muslim artillery attacks on civilian targets in Vogosca.

 Bosnian Serb Army sources reported that NATO air strikes

against the area of Srbinje (formerly Foca) in the Southeast of

the Republika Srpska on Monday killed one civilian and injured

many others, including several women and children. A dozen NATO

bombers were involved in the air raid against Srbinje, blasting

roads and bridges and hitting several residential buildings in

surrounding villages.

 A NATO bomb fell between the church and school in the

village of Donji Vijacani, 12 km South of the town of Prnjavor in

Northern Republika Srpska, but fortunately did not explode. There

had never been any military facilities in that village, which was

bombed on Sunday night, Bosnian Serb military sources said.

 NATO planes launched the fourth attack on Tuesday on suburbs

of Doboj. The industrial zone of Usora bore the brunt of the

fiercest attack, going up in flames and smoke. Two persons were

killed and several wounded in the earlier attacks on Tuesday.

 Muslim forces are attacking Serb positions around Doboj.



 NATO RAIDS THREATEN PEACEFUL SOLUTION TO CRISES



 B e l g r a d e, Sept. 12 (Tanjug) - Russia's representative

in the Contact Group Alexander Zotov said on Monday that the NATO

air strikes against the Bosnian Serbs would 'only increase the

difficulties on the road towards a peaceful solution to the

crises.'

 Speaking to radio Voice of Russia in a Serbian-language

program monitored in Belgrade, Zotov said that instead of a peace

mission, NATO is now engaged in systematically weakening one of

the sides in the conflict under the pretext that this is the only

way to create the most favourable conditions for reaching a

peace.

 'We are astounded that the demand for the withdrawal of the

heavy weapons from the safe areas refers only to one side - the

Serbs,' Zotov said. He said that 'it is clear that the other side

(Muslim) is at the same time massing troops for possible

offensive actions.'

 'Russia urges a solution according to which no-one would win

or lose in Bosnia and in the territory of the former Yugoslavia,

that all military actions are stopped, first those launched by

NATO and then those between the warring sides,' Zotov said.



 UNHCR PROMISES MORE AID TO YUGOSLAVIA



 G e n e v a, Sept. 12 (Tanjug) - The U.N. High Commissioner

for Refugees will double aid to Yugoslavia for the new influx of

more than 160,000 refugees from Krajina, UNHCR Sadako Ogata said

on Tuesday.

 This year's budget for Yugoslavia amounted to 23 million

U.S. dollars. The UNHCR will ask its donors for another 25

million dollars, said Ogata in talks with a Yugoslav delegation

in Geneva.

 The Yugoslav delegation, headed by Minister for Humanitarian

Affairs Tomica Raicevic, said Yugoslavia, encumbered by the

international sanctions, was unable to cope with the refugees

alone.

 Before the last wave of refugees from Krajina, there were

about 500,000 refugees in Yugoslavia from Croatia and

Bosnia-Herzegovina.

 In talks with Vice President of the International Committee

of the Red Cross Eric Rothlisberg, Yugoslav officials said they

hoped the ICRC would shed light on the disappearance of about

10,000 Krajina Serbs who went missing in Croatia.

 Rothlisberg said investigations were hindered as the

Croatian authorities would not allow ICRC officials access to the

locations.

 The Yugoslav side called for the convening of a conference

in Geneva at the end of the month.

        UN, NATO SHOULD EQUALLY TREAT ALL SIDES IN BOSNIA



     B e l g r a d e, Sept. 14 (Tanjug) - The Federal Republic of

Yugoslavia will actively support every peace initiative, but  the

United  Nations,  the Security Council and  NATO,  if  they  wish

peace,  should equally treat all parties to the conflict  in  the

former Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslav President Zoran Lilic said on

Thursday.

      This  concretely means that NATO's already two-week bombing

should  not be used as a shield for Muslim aggression  and  Croat

offensives,  Lilic  said in talks with a visiting  delegation  of

Russia's State Duma.

      Lilic  said  that NATO's bombing of military  and  civilian

targets  in  the Serb republic had exceeded the mandate  and  all

resolutions of the U.N. Security Council, endangered  the  entire

system  of the United Nations and therefore intensified a  threat

of a destabilization of international relations.

      After  the  acceptance of the peace plan and a decision  to

form a joint delegation by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and

the  Republika Srpska, the international community's perseverance

in  the  policy of double standards cannot bring peace  but  only

expand  the  war  in the region and even beyond  its  boundaries,

Lilic said.

      Only  equal  conditions for all sides can end the  war  and

bring about lasting and stable peace, Lilic said.

      Yugoslavia is grateful to Russia for its strong  opposition

to  attempts  to impose the military option and the  uncalled-for

bombing  of  the  entire Serb republic, its cities  and  civilian

targets, Lilic said.

     The Russian delegation, headed by Sergei Glotovan, said that

the  State  Duma would persevere in the implementation  of  three

passed  bills  which regard Russia's lifting of the anti-Yugoslav

sanctions, humanitarian assistance and a call for an end  to  the

genocide against the Serb people.

      The  Russian delegation also met on Thursday with  Yugoslav

Foreign  Minister  Milan Milutinovic. They  discussed  steps  for

continuing the peace process and finding a solution acceptable to

all sides in the conflict in the former Bosnia-Herzegovina.



          YUGOSLAVIA TO GET ADDITIONAL AID FOR REFUGEES



      G  e  n  e  v  a,  Sept. 14 (Tanjug) - Major  international

humanitarian  organizations  have  given  firm  guarantees  to  a

Yugoslav  delegation in Geneva that Yugoslavia  will  receive  an

additional  40  million  dollars of aid for  about  170,000  Serb

Krajina refugees by the end of the year.

      Head  of  the delegation, Yugoslav Minister and  Government

Coordinator  for Humanitarian Issues Tomica Raicevic,  said  that

the  visit had been successful. He said the delegation  had  also

received  assurances  from  heads of  international  humanitarian

organizations that the Yugoslav problem, which started  with  the

first   wave   of   about  500,000  refugees   and   considerably

deteriorated with the latest exodus of about 170,000 Serb Krajina

refugees,  would  be discussed in Geneva both this  year  and  in

future.

     Refugee problems would stay and hence we believe we have the

right  to  request international assistance, bearing in mind  the

undisputable  fact that Yugoslavia is under sanctions  that  have

disastrous consequences, Raicevic said.



        ABOUT 55,000 SERB REFUGEES FLEE TOWARD BANJA LUKA



      B  e  l g r a d e, Sept. 14 (Tanjug) - About 55,000 Bosnian

Serb  refugees are fleeing to Banja Luka in Western  Bosnia,  the

spokesman  for the Belgrade Office of the International Committee

of  the Red Cross said on Thursday. Jozue Anslelmo said the  ICRC

was  gravely  concerned  over the new tragedy  and  suffering  of

civilians.

      He  said the refugees had fled their homes in great  haste,

carrying next to nothing, just as 250,000 Krajina Serbs  took  to

flight in early August ahead of the Croatian aggression.

     Making avail of the two-week NATO air strikes on the Bosnian

Serbs,  Muslims and joint Croatian and Bosnian Croat forces  have

occupied swathes of territory in Southwestern Republika Srpska.

      Anselmo said 20,000 people were blocked in columns  at  the

entrance  into Banja Luka and roads were crowded.  They  were  in

urgent need of food and accommodation, and soon items of personal

care will also be scarce, he said.



                    CROATIAN ARMY ENTERS JAJCE



     B a nj a  L u k a, Sept. 14 (Tanjug) - The Bosnian Serb Army

said  on Thursday that Croatian forces entered the town of  Jajce

on Wednesday afternoon after fighting on the defence line between

Jajce and Sipovo, central Bosnia.

       After  the  fall  of  Jajce,  the  Bosnian  Serb  Army  is

consolidating  its  defence  lines  and  preparing  to  take  the

initiative  in that part of the battlefront, the Command  of  the

First Krajina Corps of the Bosnian Serb Army said in a statement.

      The statement said that Bosnian Serb forces in the areas of

Doboj,  Teslic  and  mount Ozren (Northern  Bosnia)  were  firmly

holding their lines of defence and responding to Muslim attacks.



             CROATS, SERBS PULLING OUT HEAVY WEAPONS



      S  a  r v a s, Sept. 14 (Tanjug) - Commander of Sector East

General  Fredi Van De Veg announced Thursday that before long  an

end  would  be  put  to the withdrawal of heavy  weapons  from  a

separation  zone between a Croatian force and a force of  Krajina

Serbs from the Srem-Baranja region.

      The  Belgian  General mediated in talks between  the  local

commanders of Serb and Croatian forces, General Dusan Loncar  and

General  Djura Decak, held at the Sarvas-Nemetin crossing outside

Osijek.

      Generals Loncar and Decak agreed to take all steps for  the

number  of  truce  violations to be cut to a  minimum,  said  the

   BOSNIAN SERBS REPORT ALL-OUT MUSLIM OFFENSIVE IN HERZEGOVINA

      B  i  l e c a, Sept 18 (Tanjug) - Bosnian Serb Army sources

reported  on  Monday that Muslim troops had launched  an  all-out

offensive   on   the   Serb   parts  of   Herzegovina   (southern

Bosnia-Herzegovina). The combined artillery and infantry  attacks

were  mounted early on Monday from the area of Konjic in northern

Herzegovina,  to  spread at about 1200 gmt in  the  direction  of

Mostar and Nevesinje, with the main thrust directed against Borci

and Nevesinje.

      After an artillery grounding, the Muslims launched infantry

attacks  along the entire line of the front, to which the Bosnian

Serbs  offered a powerful resistance, inflicting heavy casualties

on the attacking force, Bosnian Serb Army sources said.

      Fighting  is  still in progress on Monday night,  with  the

frontline unchanged.

     Strong Muslim and Croat provocations were reported also from

other   sectors   of   the  Herzegovina  front,   notably   Croat

provocations  in  the area of Capljina and Stolac,  about  30  km

south of Mostar.



SECURITY COUNCIL REQUESTS MUSLIMS, CROATS TO END OFFENSIVE IN
BOSNIA

      N  e  w    Y  o  r k, Sept 18 (Tanjug) - The U.N.  Security

Council  on  Monday  again  requested the  Muslim  Government  in

Sarajevo  and Croatia to end their offensive in Bosnia lest  they

jeopardise  the  peace  process and  aggravate  the  humanitarian

situation. The President of the Council, Italian Ambassador Paolo

Fulci, summoned the heads of mission of the Muslim Government  in

Sarajevo  and Croatia to caution them not to turn a deaf  ear  to

the U.N. request to end the offensive operations.

      This  is  the  third  such request addressed  by  the  U.N.

Security  Council  to  Sarajevo  and  Zagreb  since  the   latest

offensive startedunder the umbrella of nato air raids on  bosnian

serb positions thatbegan on aug. 30.

      Fulci  told reporters that the U.N. was concerned over  the

situation in western Bosnia, where the Muslim-Croat offensive had

displaced more than 100,000 people who had sought shelter in  the

Bosnian Serb city of Banjaluka. The humanitarian situation in the

area  is  disastrous and seriously jeopardises the ongoing  peace

process, he said.

      Russian U.N. Ambassador Sergei Lavrov again on Monay  moved

for  the  Security Council's more determined action to  stop  the

Muslim-Croat offensive and the Bosnian war.

       The  U.N.  Secretary-General's  Special  Advisor  Chinmaya

Gharekhan  reported  to the Council on the current  situation  in

Bosnia,  saying  that,  while  the situation  in  western  Bosnia

continued dramatic, that around Sarajevo was calming down.

Gharekhan said that relief flights and land convoys into Sarajevo

were  gradually being normalised and that, judging  from  reports

from  the ground, the Bosnia Serbs had withdrawn more than a half

of their heavy weaponry out of range of the city.



 WHITE HOUSE WARNS MUSLIMS AND CROATIANS TO STOP MILITARY ACTION

      W  a  s h i n g t o n, Sept. 18 (Tanjug) - The White  House

Monday  sent  an  energetic demand to  the  Bosnian  Muslims  and

Croatians  to urgently end military actions and thus  enable  the

peace  process to continue along the course it has  embarked  on.

'We  have  made  it  very clear that we wish they  would  suspend

fighting  and turn their attention to the discussions  that  U.S.

Ambassador  Richard Holbrooke has been conducting,'  White  House

Spokesman Mike Mccurry told reporters.

      Mccurry  underlined  that the international  community  had

cause  to be concerned over continued fighting in western  Bosnia

and  that this was the reason why initiatives were being launched

from  all  quarters  to put an end to this. We  have  had  direct

conversations with the Sarajevo Muslim Government, he  said,  and

urged  them not to try to resolve on the battlefield those issues

that we now believe were now being addressed with some success at

the  negotiating  table, especially now that  new  and  realistic

possibilities have been opened for this.



       CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN SITUATION IN BANJALUKA REGION

      B e l g r a d e, Sept. 18 (Tanjug) - Humanitarian situation

in  Banjaluka, Prijedor and Doboj is critical, said a team of the

Yugoslav Red Cross (JCK) which visited these towns in the Bosnian

Serb  Republic from Friday through Sunday. About 100,000 refugees

arrived  over  the  last  weekend from  towns  in  the  west  and

northwest  of the Bosnian Serb Republic (RS), captured  by  joint

Croat-Muslim  forces  and  assisted  by  regular  army   of   the

neighboring Croatia.

      'The  exodus of the population is great, territory in which

people arrive small, and all reserves of food depleted during the

august  exodus  of  Krajina  Serbs,' JCK  Secretary-General  Rade

Dubajic told reporters. He said that columns of literally  hungry

refugees,  mostly  women and children and  elderly  people,  were

moving  slowly with their animal-drawn vehicles along roads  into

Banjaluka. 'Many old people died of exposure, especially  on  the

Mrkonjic  Grad-Banjaluka  road,'  member  of  the  JCK  team   dr

Branislav Ljiljak said.

      In prijedor over 28,000 refugees have been accommodated  in

19 reception centres.

      Due  to shelling of Mt Ozren area, in the north of the  RS,

7,000-8,000 peole have arrived in Doboj and 4,000 in Kotorsko.

The  situation  in  Kotorsko  is difficult,  because  columns  of

refugees  have been shelled on several ocassions,  so  that  many

wounded have arrived, Dr Ljiljak said.

     Dr ljiljak said medical care in Doboj was appalling. He also

said  the hospital was badly lacking both personnel and supplies.

He  said  the  wounded were lying  on the floor, with  nobody  to

care.  prnjavor,doboj  and prijedor hospitals  have  run  out  of

bandages anddisinfectants, antibiotics and analgetics.

     the  situation  in  rs  is additionally  made  difficult  by

aninformation   blockade,   resulting   from   a   communications

breakdownfollowing nato air strikes. the population  is  'forced'

to listen tocroat and muslim media which place misinformation and

disseminatepanics among the population, a jck team member said.

      the  jck  appeals  to  all  those  who  can  help  to  send

food,medicaments, blankets, tents, plastic foils, food for babies

anddiapers, and other kinds of aid.



INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS COMMITTEE SAYS SITUATION IN BANJALUKA
TRAGIC

     belgrade, sept 18 (tanjug) - the international committee  of

thered  cross  says the humantarian situation in the northwestern

bosniantown  of  banjaluka  is tragic,  Spokesman  for  the  ICRC

Belgrade  Office  Josue Anselmo said Monday.  Anselmo  said  that

people  had fled to Banjaluka without anything and that  many  of

them  were walking around, carrying a sack and a blanket, looking

for a shelter and something to eat.

      After  joint Croat-Muslim forces, supported by the  regular

army  of the neighboring Croatia, had captured a number of  towns

in  western  bosnian  Serb Republic, about 100,000  people  found

refuge in Banjaluka alone.

     Several thousands of Bosnian Serbs have arrived to the towns

of  Prijedor  and  Doboj.  Many  of  them  had  been  wounded  in

Croat-Muslim  shellings of refugee columns that had  been  moving

toward Doboj.

      The  ICRC  sent the first shipment of food to Banjaluka  on

Friday. The food was distributed by ICRC teams and 30 local  high

school students on Saturday.

      The  Banjaluka  local authorities granted Monday  the  ICRC

officials free movement in the region which prompted the ICRC  to

send  five  trucks  with aid to Prijedor and one  truck  each  to

Laktasi and Brod.

      The  ICRC  will  be  sending five  trucks  carrying  16,000

blankets  and 15,500 meals from Belgrade to Banjaluka on Tuesday,

Anselmo said.

                      YUGOSLAV DAILY SURVEY



                    YUGOSLAV-CHINESE TALKS



      B  e  l g r a d e, Oct. 10 (Tanjug) - Yugoslavia and  China

both believe that international anti-Yugoslav sanctions will soon

be removed because of positive developments in the peace process,

a  Yugoslav  official said after talks with a Chinese functionary

on Tuesday.

      The two countries feel that the establishment of peace will

be  a  chance for bilateral relations to return to their original

level,  Yugoslav  Deputy Foreign Minister Radoslav  Bulajic  said

after  meeting Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Zhang  Deguang  in

Belgrade.

      Speaking to reporters at a joint press conference,  Bulajic

said  that some agreements had been signed and some initialed  in

Belgrade  and  Peking which largely paved the way  for  the  time

after the sanctions.

      Zhang  spoke about the principled and constructive role  of

the  FR  of Yugoslavia in the effort to settle the Balkan crisis,

role  for  which  it  had already received recognition  from  the

international community.

      He  stressed  that China had always been  against  imposing

sanctions on Yugoslavia, and that their perpetuation was  harmful

to stability and peace in the region.

     In a separate meeting with Vice Premier and Economy Minister

Nikola  Sainovic,  Zhang said that Yugoslavia  was  an  important

political and economic factor in this part of Europe and that its

economic  potential  was huge and of interest  to  China.  It  is

necessary  to intensify Yugoslav-Chinese contacts at all  levels,

including  the economic, it was noted during the talk,  according

to a statement released by the Yugoslav Information Secretariat.



      THE SERB SIDE WILL STRICTLY RESPECT THE CEASEFIRE



      L  o n d o n, Oct. 10 (Tanjug) - Republika Srpska President

Radovan  Karadzic  said  in a special interview  to  the  British

Broadcasting Corporation Monday evening that the Serb side  would

strictly respect the ceasefire.

      'Events  before  the commencement of the ceasefire  clearly

show  that the Muslim and Croat sides do not consider there  will

be  a  political settlement and think they should  grab  as  much

territory as possible by military means,' Karadzic said.

       He   added  that  the  Republika  Srpska  considered   the

international community, and especially the US, were  responsible

for  and  capable of bringing the war to an end and  securing  an

effective ceasefire.

      'On  the other hand, we will not accept the results of  the

joint  aggression  of Croatia and the Bosnian  Croat  and  Muslim

armies  against  the  Republika Srpska under NATO  patronage  and

following  NATO strikes, especially after our acceptance  of  the

Geneva and New York papers,' the Bosnian Serb leader said.



   SERB GENERAL PROTESTS TO UNPROFOR OVER CROATIAN ATTACKS



      B  e  l  g  r a d e, Oct. 10 (Tanjug) - Lieut.Gen.  Manojlo

Milovanovic,  the  Chief of the Bosnian Serb  Army  headquarters,

asked  the  UN  Tuesday  to urgently halt regular  Croatian  army

attacks  saying  that if it didn't the Army of  Republika  Srpska

would have a legitimate right to self-defence.

     In a protest letter to the UN Protection Force Commander for

the  former  Yugoslav republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina Gen.  Rupert

Smith  Milovanovic  said  that 'Croatia was  not  respecting  any

ceasefire accord in Bosnia-Herzegovina'.

      The  Croatian  army overnight on October 9 opened  constant

artillery  fire on Mrkonjic Grad and surrounding settlements  and

sent  'a  number of its brigades towards the town to occupy  this

ancient Serb territory', Milovanovic said.



      END TO SANCTIONS UNAVOIDABLE PART OF PEACE PROCESS



      B  u  c  h  a  r e s t, Oct. 10 (Tanjug) - Speaker  of  the

Yugoslav  Parliament's Upper House Milos Radulovic  said  Tuesday

that  Yugoslavia  would  continue making  the  greatest  possible

contribution  to  a  peaceful  resolution  of  the  conflict   in

Bosnia-Herzegovina.

     The Speaker of the Chamber of Republics said at a session of

the Interparliamentary Union that the lifting of the UN sanctions

against  Yugoslavia was a vital and unavoidable  element  of  the

Bosnian peace process.

      The Yugoslav delegation head reiterated that sanctions were

counter-productive and their further implementation  only  suited

forces which were against peace and political dialogue.

     He expressed conviction that the international community was

truly  determined to restore peace in the region  and  would  put

pressure on the sides which did not abide by the latest ceasefire

agreement.

      The  Yugoslav delegate underscored that air strikes against

Bosnian Serbs were not in line with hopes for peace. He said  the

strikes  were  a  violation  of the  agreed  principle  of  equal

treatment  of  all  warring sides and  an  encouragement  to  the

advocates of war.

     Yugoslavia joins the UN Security Council condemnation of the

Croatian massacre against Serbs in Krajina and the plundering  of

their  property, Radulovic stressed. He set out that the  problem

of  the  position and rights of Serbs in Croatia was an important

issue for the resolution of the crisis in the former Yugoslavia.



 UN REQUESTS PUNISHMENT FOR PERPETRATORS OF CRIMES IN KRAJINA



     N e w  Y o r k, Oct. 10 (Tanjug) - The UN has requested that

Croatian  authorities  punish  perpetrators  of  crimes  in  Serb

Krajina and prevent further torching and looting of Serb houses.

      A statement released by the UN Press Department in New York

said UN reports from the field confirmed that Croatian troops and

civilians  continued to plunder and set fire  to  Krajina  Serbs'

houses.

      The  statement, which also contains a report by a UN  human

rights team, said UN observers had seen devastation, houses  that

had been broken into and left completely empty in the village  of

Vrpile near Korenica, a town in Western Serb Krajina, while in  a

nearby  village more than half the houses had been burnt  to  the

ground.

      UN  observers  also  reported  that  there  had  been  some

confusion regarding the information that Croatian authorities had

arrested 375 persons suspected of plunder and torching of Krajina

Serbs' houses. Relevant Ministry in Zagreb, however, has denied a

statement to this effect by a Knin-based Croatian official.



               CROATIA CONTINUES EVICTING SERBS



      B  e  l  g  r  a d e, Oct. 10 (Tanjug) - Croatia  continues

evicting  non-Croats, mostly Serbs, despite Croatian top leaders'

promises to protect all citizens under equal standards.  This  is

illustrated  by  a  case of Zorica Peric of Zagreb.  A  group  of

Croatian  soldiers,  uttering most serious threats  and  insults,

have  evicted Peric, whose husband has been drafted and  sent  to

the front, and her two children, the Belgrade daily Politika said

Tuesday.

     Peric had lived in an apartment which belonged to the former

Yugoslav People's Army and her father was a tenancy right holder.

After  her father retired from the Army in 1988, he went back  to

his  native  village in Montenegro and his daughter was  now  the

tenancy right holder under the tenancy law.

      Peric has recently applied to the Croatian Defense Ministry

to  buy out the apartment and transfer it into her own name.  She

had all the necessary papers but instead of the Ministry decision

she  faced a group of bullies in army uniforms. Croatian soldiers

broke into Peric's apartment while she was out on the market  and

when she returned, she found also a civilian policeman there  who

promised her protection.

       'The   apartment  was  crowded,  uniformed   people   were

everywhere.  They were all yelling, calling us names.  A  soldier

said:  'Kill her now if she is a Serb.' Another soldier  reloaded

his  gun and levelled it at me and the children,' Politika quoted

Peric as saying in an interview with the Rijeka daily Novi List.

      The  civilian  policeman  sent  Peric  to  her  neighbour's

apartment  and  called back-up. Military police  came  later  and

removed  bullies in military uniforms. However, a new tenant  was

moved  into  Peric's apartment and Peric was out in  the  street.

Peric's  lawyer  pressed charges of trespassing,  but  the  court

procedure is unfolding very slowly.

      'This  man (the new tenant) is said to receive a  temporary

tenancy right from Defense Ministry's Housing Committee until the

lawsuit has been resolved,' Peric was quoted as saying. She  said

she  did  not expect very much from the Committee. She also  said

that when she had phoned the Committee for help, they called  her

a 'chetnik woman,' a usual Croat term used to denote Serbs.
