SARAJEVO - Vicepresident of Republika Srpska (RS) Biljana Plavsic and the RS foreign mistier Aleksa Buha met in Pale with the OSCE Mission chief Robert Frowick to deal with the organisa tion of the upcoming elections.

LONDON - The British media failed to report of yesterday's meeting of the rump Contact Group, because it bore no fruit. According to wellinformed sources in London, the high repre- sentative Carl Bildt and Robert Frowick, chief of the OSCE Mission in the Former B-H, reached no agreement on "actions to undertake against Karadzic".

LONDON - NATO commander in the Former B-H admiral Leighton Smith, hopes he will be the one to have a particular honour to arrest the RS president Radovan Karadzic and general Ratko Mlad ic, learns SRNA's London sources, which say that NATO troops are redeploying their men in the vicinity of Pale.

PARIS - The French Radio transmits IFOR commander admiral Leighton Smith's warning that his troops are concerning them selves as being peace keeping forces, and will not kidnap persons indicted by the Hague Tribunal, although the events of last Saturday in HanPijesak speak to the contrary.

HAMBURG - The U.S.A. are exerting a strong pressure at the Hague Tribunal to issue the arrest warrant for Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, say German media. The Neues Deutchland writes that the U.S. administration and some western media have no intention to cease a campaign "until Karadzic and Mladic's last nerves are broken, but trying so, they might experience a hard work, but still without finishing their job".

AMSTERDAM - The search into the alleged mass graves near Srebrenica the Holland press believes is deemed to serve the purpose of the international community to press the RS leadership before September elections. A decision to begin the excavation of mass graves as soon as possible is aimed at providing the Hague Tribunal with, for a change, a more serious evidence against the Serbs.

BRUSSELS - The EU allowed the DM 4.000.000 aid to support families of Muslims missing from Srebrenica - which families are facing very difficult life conditions in Tuzla - but nobody mentions a possibility of those men being mobilised by the Muslim Army, conclude Belgian media.

LONDON - The U.S. military instructors are to arrive in Bosnia within next weeks to set out the training of the Croat Muslim "Federal" Army, learns SRNA from wellinformed sources in London. The U.S. government promised about U.S. $ 800.000.000 in equipment, while the Islamic states pledged to provide one bil lion dollars of aid to the "Federal Army".

NEW YORK - The Croatian ambassador to the UN Mario Nobilo, warned the UN secretarygeneral Boutros Boutros-Ghali that the Security Council have no right to discuss the violations of human rights in Croatia. In his letter to Ghali, Nobilo stresses some critics concerning the status of human rights in Croatia "only harm the international peace and security".

SARAJEVO - Having been postponed for months and again brought in rush, the Law on defence of the CroatMuslim Federa- tion, relentlessly pushed by "peacemaker" Pentagon, which "Train and Equip" Programme gave the Law on defence its real name: "Train, Equip and ATTACK". Whether or not the things will follow the course it will become evident very soon. The same is under stood by European countries, which are even now opposed to the U.S. military aiding the "Federal" Army, as well as by the Muslim allies Croats who are anxious that the American aided armament might be suddenly directed against them, writes a SRNA commen tary.

NOVI SAD - The president of the Yugoslav Leftists for RS, Milorad Ivosevic, reacted to a request of the international community to eliminate the SDS from September elections if Rado van Karadzic remains its leader, saying that "the elections in RS are the matter of its citizens, but not solely a result of judg ment of the international factors", warned Ivosevic in a state ment for Nasa Borba.

BIJELJINA - The Bijeljina mayor Dragomir Ljubojevic stated that the adoption of law on defence of the CroatMuslim Federa- tion and an announcement of the operation of equipping the feder al partners by the U.S.A. is one proof more that the Croats and Muslim are preparing for the continuation of war.

KOTOR VAROS - A series of warmongering statements by Muslim leaders in the Former B-H is being continued by a statement of Dzevad Mladjo, the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) Club of Deputies president, saying that "Bosnian Muslims will not accept the results of the Dayton agreement and the division of this former Yugoslav republic". Mladjo called, though RadioZenica, Mladjo all Muslims in Raska and Monte Negro to "alert and mutual conciliation".
