PARIS - The newest searching by experts of the Hague Tribu nal carried out in the area of Srebrenica, confirm some informa tion as false on alleged existence of 12 mass graves, reports AFP's correspondent Kevin McEldery.

CLEVELAND - The American press is focused on the Donors Conference in Brussels, especially commenting the absence of the RS delegation. An American analyst assesses that the Conference objective is not only a physical reconstruction of the wardevas- tated country, but an attempt to restore an unified B-H, within its internationally recognised borders.

LONDON - The way the London press covered a refusal of the RS representatives to attend the Donors Conference in Brussels as a part of a joint delegation, suggests that millions of Dollars awaited the Serbs, even though nothing else but humiliation would await them in Brussels. By acceptance to be a part of unique delegation of the socalled B-H, the Serbs could only expect every single dollar of aid to arrive thorough the central govern ment in Sarajevo, which would very indiscreetly admit and explain that the Serbs are receiving mercy from them.

MOSCOW - All peoples in the Former B-H should in an equal measure count on the international community for support in eco nomic reconstruction, stated a representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Russia. The Russian diplomat said that residents of the former B-H should feel all positive changes after conclusion of peace.
