On 23 Mar Team observed CA platoon doing A/TK shooting (training) at grid WL 2528. Generally calm and quiet. page 1 of 3 = UN RESTRICTED = = UN RESTRICTED = TEAM SISAK (XL0738). Calm and stable. "REPUBLICA SERBSKA KRAJINA" TEAM PLASKI (WK2991). There was sporadic SAF and HMG/AAA CFVs reported by POLBAT OPs, mainly in the BOCINO BRDO grid WK 2396 and Mala Kapela areas. Team has been able from their OPs to confirm that CA have been improving their positions and even building new ones in the area of MATESKO SELO WL 3419. On the 19 Mar 94 one RSK soldier was injured on a CA minefield at gr WK 233916. The RSK claim that it was a new mine field placed by the CA side to interfere with the "proposed" NEW polbat Ope The soldier injured was one of 25 RSK soldiers, three with Bazookas that were observed by a POLBAT OP moving towards the front line in Mala Kapela.It is likely RSK were carrying out an infiltration patrol against CA when they hit a minefield. CA admit they have moved around their minefields in Mala Kapela for security reasons. TEAM TUSILOVIC (WL6441). Calm and quiet. TEAM PETRINJA (XL0040). Calm and quiet in AOR. French Batt 1 reported that on 210200A Mar 94, 5 x mortar rds in LASINJA (no grids available) were fired from Serb side to CA side. TEAM SLUNJ (WK4596). Calm and quiet in AOR. Team reports that BiH 5 Corps are improving their defensive positions in the LICKO PETRO SELO area WK 5670. ANTI TANK ditches are being dug on 5 Corps BiH side. 5 Corps has always been worried about the ABDIC forces/RSK potential for attack in this area. The Serb side in this area has recently marked their minefield. Team SLUNJ and Team Tusilovic were carrying out a joint patrol in the VELJUN WL 4411 area, on 21 Mar 94 when they discovered an arty 130mm Bty in this area. This is probably a permanent gun area for RSK as they acted very unfriendly towards the teams. TEAM GLINA (WL 8520). Calm and stable. page 2 of 3 = UN RESTRICTED = = UN RESTRICTED = 3. ASSESSMENT The week was relatively calm and quiet. The impending talks between KNIN and ZAGREB on 22 Mar probably kept both sides from engaging in any activities that would to upset the talks. CA are defnitely involved in making strong new positions in various parts of the CFL. This is probably intended to show RSK their determination on the UNPA issues. with the renewal of the UNPROFOR mandate Croatia obviously want to show they will not relent on the territorial issue and will use force if necessary on the long term, if necessary. Some of the new diggings could be suitable for Heavy Arty or MRLS, UNMOs are denied entry to these areas. CA would likely engage RSK from these positions in the event of hostilities breaking out. However there are indications that both sides want to give the peace negotiation at least a chance. All sides claim they are "fed up with the war." It is assessed that it will remain calm and quiet in Sector North. The intrigue of the neighbouring Bihac pocket will likely involve this sector in some ways in the near future. page 3 of 3 = UN RESTRICTED = = UN SECRET = UNPROFOR UlOIO HO SECTOR NORTH PRIORITY UN SECRET OUTGOING FAX NO:1332 DATE/TIME: 25 MAR 94 TO: UNMO HQ ZAGREB FROM: UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH FAX NO: 041-171-688 FAX NO: ATTN:MIO UNMO HQ ZAGREB FILE REF NO: MIO DRAFTER: COMDT HANNON TITLE: RELEASING: SIGNATURE: ~K' -, INFO: SUBJECT: WEEKLY INFOSUM PART 2: 18 MAR - 24 MAR 94 1. SUMMARY OF MILITARY ACTIVITY Refer to INFOSUM Part 1 dated 25 MAR 94. 2. MAJOR MOVEMENTSjREDEPLOYMENT OF FORCES a. "RSK": There have been movements from DVOR Bde to other Bde areas in the UNPA. On the night of 17/18 Mar 94 between 2230A and 0100A a military convoy consisting of 5 x buses with soldiers fully equipped, 6 x heavy trucks, 6 x jeeps, 1 x ambulance, 1 x long trailer, was observed by ND06 DANBAT (WL9000). It is estimated that the convoy moved from general area of DVOR towards GLINA. The convoy disappeared before UNMOs could locate its destination. The only explaination for this movement could be that since Dvor Bde AOR is relatively quiet, the RSK troops may have been temporarily redeployed when tensions were running high over the past few weeks. During a joint patrol 2 x UNMO teams located a heavy arty Bty in area of Vel jun WL 4510. Guns confirmed to be of 130mm calibre. Present in the area were gun towing trucks and local small arms defence was employed. The RSK troops detained the teams and interpreter for over two hours as a result of the discovery. On 220900A Mar 94 1 x AA 20mm single barrel gun previously at Grid XL 1028, has moved to an unknown location. UNMOs to follow up on this movement. On 221445A Mar 94, 2 x T 53/55 tanks which moved from MARINBROD WL 8926 have now been located in HADER WL 8725. page 1 of 3 = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = b. CROATIA: The CA still appear to be actively pursueing a policy of developing their defences close to the CFL. CA is undertaking important modifications and enlargements of bunkers and firing positions in an area SE of SISAK (KOMAREVO to BLINSKI KUT) and South of OP ND82 following the CFL.The works are elaborate and could possibly accomodate heavy Arty. This is in addition to what was already reported previously ~, the diggings in the areas of SICA WL 3722 and SCULAC WL 3923 (Area of Karlovac/Tusilovic CFL). This appears to be a definite policy of CA showing their determination to the " RSK" to deal with the UNPA problem by force if necessary in the future. CHANGES IN ORDER OF BATTLE a. CROATIA: 1 HOMEGUARD REGT will be demobilised completely and will be replaced by smaller units consisting of local people who have been displaced during the war. The soldiers of 1 HGD mostly from area of ZAGREB are being sent home in order to find civilian employment. So far CALO refuses to give further information about this change. b. RSK: NTR. c.

CROATIA: The peace talks in ZAGREB on 22 MAR were widely talked page 2 of 3 = UN SECRET = • = UN SECRET = that they regard the meeting as very important and see it as a possible way to solve the present impasse over the UNPA issue. President TUDJMANs optimistic posture during a recent TV interview has given a positive signal to Croatians in general to be somewhat more optimistic than before. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS a. "RSK": The capabilities and intentions have not been assessed as being different to last weeks Infosum. b. CROATIA: Similar to last Infosum. As reported previously there is still no obvious indication of build up for offensive action. Croat forces maintain their level of alertness and are still actively making apparently, defensive preparations. As stated these defences could possibly hold Heavy Arty pieces. There seems to be a little light appearing for the people in regards to settling some of the issues involved in this complex problem. If a general Ceasefire were to be reached soon it could give the right momentum for further progress. 9.

But because of the ongoing peace talks in Washington it is no secret that Croats would prefer to neutralise the present tensions ASAP. 7. CHANGES IN POLITICAL/CIVIL SITUATION a. RSK: RSK 31st Bde is trying to build up a more professional force by recruiting higher educated reserve officers and soldiers. According to a Platoon leader He is promised 70 new Dinars this month.

"RSK": On 061200 MAR 94, team Petrinja reported tank movements in GRABOSTANI XL 2115. Team Plitvice while patrolling the area of LICKO PETRO SELO WK 5670 on 03 Mar were informed by POLBAT OP NP22 that they observed 20 buses coming into the area of LICKO PETRO SELO. The team also observed 2 x water bowsers in the area. On 06 MAR team was in joint patrol with an UNMO team from BIHAC. Teams observed some new diggings in the area of Abdica Brda WK 596693. There was also an unusual number of soldiers (approx 30) in the area of SERB CHP near NP22. Some troops seen in this area recently were dressed in a different type of camouflage uniform with red berets. Assessed to be possible preparations and deployments for further actions against the BlBAC pocket.Judging by past experiences, the troops can not be ruled out as being Abdic troops. The 2 x tanks in MALA SOLINA (WL8527) that were moved away from that position has not been identified yet. UNMos are still attempting to locate if possible. RSK have positioned an a/tk 75mm rcl gun and 2 x 90mm rocket launchers at a house near LF 53 XL 8729. The Serb position in road bend in XL 8728 has an AAA single barrell MG. page 1 of 4 = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = On 10 Mar team GLINA patrolled a previously restricted area of PETROVA GORA WL 6317. Team proceeded to the top of the hill and were stopped by a soldier who did not allow them to continue. From that position team positively identified an AA AD Bty of SA-9 GASKIN (3 in number) and a radar station which belongs to that type of Bty. The area is also suitable as an early warning OPe b. CROATIA: On 072230A MAR 94 TEAM 10 OGULIN observed 5 bus loads of soldiers on the road from KARLOVAC towards JEZERANE WK 1688 carrying approximate 200 soldiers. Convoy speed was high approx 70kph and had 2 x milpol escort vehicles. The convoy went in direction SENJ WK 9282 and then proceeded Southwards towards KARLOBAG. On 07 MAR between 1400hrs and 1500hrs team KARLOVAC observed 11 trucks, 2 jeeps and 1 bus with soldiers coming from direction GENERALSKI STOL WL 3020 heading towards ZAGREB. All these vehicles were moving independently and not in convoy format. On 071200A MAR one tank (T55) was observed at MATESI WL 4329. The tank was observed behind two houses. Civilians in KRAPJE XL 4317 reported to team SISAK that SERBS were crossing the river for recce. Not confirmed. On 06 MAR 94 CA Deployed AA around the area of the refinery in Sisak XL 1033.

CHANGES TO STATE OF READINESS a. "RSK": state of readiness has been observed in some RSK locations of Sector North. PLASKI went on a state of alert. Schools and some businesses closed. Comd 70 Bde Plaski informed SMO that He had mobilised his reservists because of the situation. Positions on the front line have been reinforced. Troops observed in the area of ABDICA BRDA WK 5969 appeared alert and the activities of troops in this area has increased since last week. b. CROATIA: CA troops in Ogulin area were more alert and the increase of CFVs in this area are indiciative of increased alertness by the troops on the CFL. Similiarly OTOCAC area was at an increased state of alertness because of the tensions in that general area. 7. CHANGES IN POLITICAL/CIVIL SITUATION a. RSK: Team Petrinja reports of an increase of private activities in the town and up to the CFL. A Bank has opened, and farming activities are more obvious than previously. b. CROATIA: NTR. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS a. "RSK": The rise of tensions in the past week may not be regarded as that unusual. We have seen similar situations in the past. Comds react predictably blaming the other side, UNPROFOR, UNMOs etc Reservists being called up, CFVs increase in predictable locations, and open threats of further action if the "provocation" does not stop. RSK have the capability of mounting a considerable defence, mainly because of their heavier weapon capability. As a firm warning of possible further intent populated areas are often targeted, such as the strike on otocac during this week: a warning to the CA if the situation escalated the shelling would continue. It is expected that the current bout of tension will reduce with negotiation by Sector North, and adjacent Sector South page 3 of 4 = UN SECRET = • = UN SECRET = efforts. Not so easily to jUdge is the possible involvement of RSK in possible actions against Bihac pocket.Troop deployments, diggings and the denial of movement into the former JNA airfied complex ZELJAVA WK 5867 indicates some type of intent. The situation needs to be monitored closely. UNMOs Sector North and Bihac meet frequently to discuss the situation. b. CROATIA: As reported previously there is still no obvious indicaton of build up for offensive action. Croat forces maintain their level of alertness and are reporting CFVs much more frequently than previous. This is evident in team OGULINs AOR, OZ KARLOVAC has appointed three liaison officers to UNMO team OGULIN. There are indications that in some areas CA are not complying with CF agreement and may well be provoking. The incident of firing 2 x tk rds confirmed ( DSR 08 MAR ) the past week is evidence of CA capability of escalating the situation on occasions. There is evidence of CA constructing new bunkers ,refer to supplementary sitrep dated 07 MAR 94.It is assessed that CA are refurbishing their defences after the Winter season. Team KARLOVAC are not allowed patrol the areas of SCULAC WK 3924 and SICA WL 3722, this is one of the locations that digging and earthworks has been observed recently and has been subjeot; to protests by RSK to Sector Comd. 9.

These criminals are also believed to be the soldiers who attempted the coup against RSK 70 BDE comd one month ago.It is believed locally in PLASKI that this could be the emerging of a tougher line by the military and civilian police towards these criminals who are known to the authorities. UNMOs will continue to monitor the situation. b. CROATIA: NTR. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS a. "RSK": The TDF maintains its defensive positions and is not likely to mount any offensive action.Traditional response to CA activities are normally confined to isolated actions by RSK troops. This was evident again this period when tension mounted over the shooting of a RSK soldier at MIKSICI ( WL = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = 4534) (Reported in weekly infosum part 1). This lead to CFVs along the CAl RSK CFL in the PLASKI, OGULIN and MALA KAPELA area .There were also three confirmed CFVs in the TURANJ area (WL4534). However it now appears that tension is reduced and RSK comds undertook to "cool" the situation at face to face meeting at TURANJ on wed 03 MAR 94. The situation on the western border of BIHAC pocket needs close monitoring because of the ongoing situation there. Team 41 PLITVICE have been tasked to closely monitor and report on developments in the area . The possibility of an attack through the LICKO PETRO SELO axis by RSK, or ABDIC forces can not be ruled out at this time. Any unusual build up of forces or equipment in this area could be the alert signal of future actions. b. CROATIA: still no indication of bui~d up for offensive action. Croat forces maintain their level of alertness and are reporting CFVs much more frequently than previous. This is evident in team OGULINs AOR, OZ KARLOVAC has appointed three liaison officers to UNMO team GULIN. Recent visits and foot patrols by UNMOs to the MALA KAPELA area do not indicate any unusual build up of forces or activities at this time. There was agreement by CA and RSK at face to face meeting at TURANJ on wed 03 MAR to allow, subjact; to further recconaisance,two new OPs in the KAPELA area. These OPs would interpose between both sides and would assist in closer monitoring and improve reporting procedures in this AOR. 9.

CROATIA TEAM OCULIN (WL1713). There was an increase of military activity along the CFL as exchange of fire in MALA KAPELA (WK 2195) and CRNA KOSA (WL 2900) became more noticeable this period. A large number of CFVs were reported by the LO 143 BDE to UNMOs for each day. However UNMOs and POLBAT were only able to confirm a total of five. The number of protests on alleged CFVs are averaging five per day. Investigations indicate that there was indeed an increase of CFVs but suspicions are that CA may be trying to build up an apparently larger number of CFVs on paper than actually took place. Last INFOSUM period UNMOs were patrolling on foot in the MALA KAPELA area which probably helped to reduce the CFVs in the area. TEAM KARLOVAC (WL4337). An incident at MIKSICI (WL 4534) near TURANJ XING at 271650A FEB 94 in which a SERB soldier was killed by CA guards lead to an increase of tension in this general area.

CROATIA: Croatian population disappointed with new taxes, upto 75%. Financial police are making raids in SISAK and closing restaurants and coffee shops. One place was closed because it was employing a Bosnian refugee without the correct paperwork, it was also owned by a Serb. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS a. "RSK": There have been some restrictions of movement imposed during the period in some areas. Although UNMOs have not observed any major build ups or movements, RSK may be strengthening current positions and improving general security in the KRAJINA as there seems to be a higher level of police presence at checkpoints. This may be the result of some comments made by a Croatian government official stating that if Croatian forces left BOSNIA then they would = UN SECRET = .. = UN SECRET = be forced to take care of the problem in the KRAJINA. It is not expected that RSK will proceed on any kind of offensive but will maintain a high level of awareness and preparation in case of any Croatian offensive action. b. CROATIA: There is nothing to indicate that HV are preparing for offensive action, however it seems that HV is constantly worried about Serbian aggression so therefore they maintain a high level of awareness also. UNMOS will be maintaining their intensive patrol plans on the Croatian side in order to detect any convoys that may be leaving BOSNIA for return to Croatia. 9.

CROATIA TEAM OGULIM (WL1713). The situation was generally stable but slightly tense in some areas of the ceasefire line. These areas were SREDNJA GORA (WL 2802) and the general area of MALA KAPELA (WK 2394). The front line positions of Serb side in the areas HUM (WK 3098), BOSCINO BROO (WK 2396) and KALA KAPELA were areas of concern. Alleged infiltration patrols from RSR into MALA KAPELA sparked off incidents of eXChanges of SAF, HMG and MORTAR RNDs. UHKOs could only confirm so~e of the CFVs as restriction of movemant exists in these areas, however SMO attended the face to face meeting in TURANJ on the 08 FEB with CO OZ KARLOVAC and CDRS XORDUN and LIRA CORPS where both sides agreed that Sector North UNMOs should be allowed to patrol the area of MALA KAPELA to establish the contact line and to enhance confidence building measures by their presence in the area. Patrol plans have been submitted to both sides for approval. TEAK KARLOVAC (WL4337).

Military activities were on a very low level in the AOR with only one CFV. 5 mortar rnds were fired by HV from (WL 8533) to (WL 8333). This incident was probably retaliation for the burning of Croation houses in the area. Serb side retaliated with one mortar shortly after. Not confirmed by UNKos but by FREBAT. TEAK OTQCAC (WK2069). Calm and stable. 2. "REPUBLICA sEBBsn XRAJIlIA" TEAM PLASXI (WK2991). Through out the week there have been ongoing exchanges of sporatic SAF, mostly recorded by POLBAT in the areas of BOCINO BRDO (WK 2396) and DeLNI JANCICI (WK 2497). It was stated that both sides ha~e initiated the shooting. The tension in this area could affect the opening of the VOJNOVAC crossing. TEAM TUSILOVIC (WL6441). No CFVs reported. The general situation remains calm. TEAK PETRIMJA (XL0040). Calm and stable with only the one incident already reported above under team SISAK. TEAM PLITVICE (WK4869). The situation was generally calm and stable except for one isolated incident on 05 FEB. Some shelling and SAF took place in the area of LICKO PETROVO SELD (WL 5570). This was a result of a misunderstanding between two business qroups who provocated Serbs from the KRAJINA and Muslims from the BIHAC pocket area. TEAM GLINA (WL 8520). Very calm and stable. 3.

It will be interesting to see whether UNMos will be allowed to patrol MALA KAPELA as we have requested.

"RSK": There is an intensified presence of police in the area Rakovica (WK 5182). This unit has 2 BRDMs which are believed to be deployed east of Rakovica but west of the Bosnian border trying to prevent black marketing. There is a new infantry position with at least 1 HMG at (WL 9128), new antitank position with two 75mm guns at (WL 9228) and a 81mm mortar position at (WL 8528).

CROATIA: NTR. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS a. "RSK": The general situation along the CFL has been relatively calm. The only areas of real concern at the moment are Plaski and Mala Kapela. The problem here has not yet been defined but CA have alleged that SA has been initiating CFVs. It is possible that 70 BDE CMDR in Plaski does not = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = have complete control over his forces in the area. The remainder of RSK forces seem to be disciplined and are not indicating any sign of build-up or potential hostilities. The only observed activities have been strengthening of positions North of Vrginmost and Glina most probably preparation in case of a spring offensive from CA. b. CROATIA: CA is rumoured to have 10000 troops in BiH assisting HVO currently, therefore one would assume that any major attack would be a surprise. However their forces remain alert and sufficient reserves are readily available if required. The general attitude appears concilatory and there are no obvious indications that offensive actions are imminent. 9.

"RSK": The special forces (red berrets) previously observed (see INFOSUM 13-20 Jan 94) by Team P1itvice (WK4869) are still present along the Bosnian border. A special police unit (black berrets) has been deployed at Rakovica (WK5182). Probably the troops have been deployed so as to prevent black-market business along the Bosnian border especially in area close to NP 42 (WK6179). On 24 Jan 94 the Team observed a green armed helicopter (gazelle), at altitude 100M, flying from direction South towards South-West. The helicopter patrolled the area for about 15 minutes. On 27 Jan 94, between 1140 and 1230 hrs the Team observed 3 x unarmed jets (type-galeb) overflying the AOR at altitude 1oo-3OOM direction North to South and viceversa. Probably the aircraft were on a recce mission or on training. b. CROATIA Team Karlovac observed the following movements: (1). 20 Jan 94: 1 x tank-transporter loaded with a T55 moving from Zagreb via Karlovac (WL4337) towards general direction South.

The Mayor stated that the Local people were upset about the removal of mines from Vojnovac Crossing (WK2699) and that being the case, the crossing would not be opened until the CA soldiers inside = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = Krajna Territory were withdrawn. At the meeting, it was agreed that PolBat continue with the engineering work at the crossing. It was agreed that once the engineering work is completed there will be an inspection by both warring parties. On 1 Feb 94, there will be a meeting at Turanj Crossing at which the opening of the Vojnovac Crossing will be discussed. However, notwithstanding the above, the engineering work is going on quite well. On the political scene, there has been no official report on the elections in "RSK". However, from the local people, it is alleged that Martie has won with majority votes. UNMOs will continue to monitor the influence of the results on the current situation within the sector. b. CROATIA: NTR 8. CAPABILITIESIINTENTIONS: a. "RSK" The situation along the CFL between the "RSK" and Croatia has been relatively calm except in the general area of Mala Kapela (WK 2292) where it is alleged by the SA that CA have encrouched too far into RSK. If this allegation turns out to be true then Plaski area is likely to become a hot spot again in the future. b. CROATIA CA appears to be taking advantage of the calm period to re-organize and re-group its forces.The recent mojor movement (see para 2b) of CA from Zagreb towards general direction Rijeka via Karlovac (WL4337) observed from 20 to 25 Jan 94 may be taken as tangible evidence to support the allegation that CA is moving troops into Bosnia to reinforce the Bosnian Croats. 9. OVERALL ASSESSMENT The extension of "Christmas Truce Agreement" up to 31 Jan 94 may have to an extent influenced the events along the CFL between the CA and SA thus leading to a calm situation for the last period. However, the CA activities pertaining to major movement of troops from general area Zagreb to South are likely to undermine the confidence of SA.

However deployment of new weapons by the TDF along the border with the Bihac pocket in the area between BOGOVOLJA (WK 6090) and KORDUNSKI LJESKOVAC (WK 6081) in this period is confirmed by this team. Shelling by 120mm how from area 2km south of BOGOVOLJA (WK 5688) in RSK to locations (WK 6185) in Bihac were reported by OP's and Bihac sources. The team patrols and investigations have however not confirmed shelling by RSK soldiers. At the moment the team investigates possible activities of Muslim soldiers on Krajina soil between ZAPOLJAK (WK 5788) and KAMPICr (WK 5994). The area along the border remains calm despite the earlier suspicion of reinforcement along the border north of OTOCAC by CA. In the area of BOBICI (WK 2477) the team found T55 training activities. At 21 Dec the team observed two T55 tks, probably from Plaski Bde. Team 50 (GLINA) reports a general calm situation during the last week. One exception sis that RSK in the area of G.ZIROVAC (WK 8996) was shelling with M42 76 mm guns across the border of Bihac. This was confirmed by CO E-coy Danbat, not yet confirmed by UNMO. 2. MAJOR MOVEMENTS/REDEPLOYMENT OF FORCES: a. RSK At 16 Dec 93 a patrol from Team Petrinja observed one 76mm gun at WL 6742, and another two 76mm guns at WL 6942. Furthermore they reported 7 tks in the village of GRABOSTANI (XL 2115), were is supposed to be a mechanical repairshop. At 19 Dec 93 Team Plitvice observed 3 tks T55, 3 guns and 2 AAMGs, located in the area WK 603814. b. CROATIA At 16 Dec 94 a patrol of Team Sisak monitored at the pier in front of HQ 2 CA Bde two patrol boats. The boats were carrying one multiple AAMG of 20mm. On one boat furthermore one 37mm AA gun. At 18 Dec 93 a patrol from Team Ogulin observed one M-77 mrl at WL 2108 heading south. As it was reported earlier, Team Karlovac had observed artillery personnel east of Karlovac, in the village of RECICA (WL 5237). At 18 Dec 93 a patrol confirmed the presence of one 6-gun battery (2 of them "dummies") of ZIS 3/M1942 guns in the village of HUSJE (WL 4620). Another battery (or separate guns) is suspected to be in the area of LUKA POKUPSKA (WL 5240) to BLATNICA POKUPSKA (WL 5240). UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = 3. CHANGES TO ORDER OF BATTLE: a. RSK Team Plitvice is presently investigating the deployment of units of Kordun Corps along the Bihac border. At 18 Dec the team was informed by 13 Bde that they don't cover the Bihac border anymore since one or two months. Their two bats are probably redeployed in another area. b. CROATIA Possibly due to the withdrawal of 2 (CA) Bde element the AOR of 57 Bde is likely to expand to the east. CALO promised to hand over an overlay. 4. CHANGES TO MAJOR EOUIPMENTS: ~0 a. RSK b.

RSK Team Plaski reported that all units continue in state of readiness. Team Plitvice have all intensified patrols and training in the polygon. There is unconfirmed information of 10 tanks seen at loc WK 3480 in AOR of Plaski Bde. During the last week militia activities have increased. Militia checkpoints are now being occupied by at least 2 persons, sometimes openly carrying automatic rifles. These activities have been occurring since the last meeting between Lika Corps and 5th (BiH) Corps. Artillery units of 11 Bde will hold training-firings from 21st till 31st of Dec. CA-side is informed by them. b. CROATIA Team Ogulin reported a lot of engineer plant. Civilians are dismantling the wooden shell protection from their houses. The presence of 1st (Tiger) Bde seems to be very strong = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = last days. Team Karlovac noted a lot of troop rotation east of Karlovac. Due to their full equipment this could be a regular rotation, but also a possible move of troops. 7. CHANGES IN POLITICAL/CIVIL SITUATION: a. RSK On the Otocac-crossing this week two POW exchanges took place. Along the Bihac border almost daily intense trading takes place. All this gives the indication of no immediate fighting along the border in the area of Lika Corps. The increased militia activity is probably because of this intensified trading. b. CROATIA Team 40 monitored two POW exchanges at otocac crossing. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS: a. RSK The deployment of new units and weapons along the Bihac border appears strategic in intention. The TDF will probably not make any offensive move, unless the war in the pocket escalates on to RSK soil. The fact that RSK is supporting Abdic troops in whatever way seems to be of some concern. It could be the intention of the TDF to move where possible regular forces to the border with CA and hence possible reason for deploying new units at Bihac border. Along the RSK-Croatian border everything seems to be quiet. The population is happy with the truce in order to give them some spare. No obvious offensive troop redeployments or regrouping along this border is noted and TDF is very clear about their defensive attitude. The earlier settled CF (gentlemen) agreements have proven that the Christmas truce might hold. b. CROATIA CA is making use of this quiet period in order to reorganize and regroup its units, even out of the Sectors AOR. Strong suspect exists that CA troops are redeploying in Sector South or even down to Bosnia. There is no indication of preparation of any attack from this side. The troops seem to be a bit more relaxed. At the same time CA is vigilant and prepared to repulse any offensive actions. The earlier settled CF (gentlemen) agreements have proven that the Christmas truce might hold. = UN SECRET = UNPROFOR UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH TVA: _ PAGE 10Ft TVZ: _ PER: _ UIT: _ XXXXXXX/PRIORITY/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXX/UN SECRET OUTGOING FAX NO: DATE/TIME: 16 DEC 93/18:00 TO: UNMO HQ ZAGREB FROM: UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH FAX NO: 041-171-688 FAX NO: ATTN: EYES ONLY FOR: FILE REF NO: MIO '~' MIO UNMO HQ DRAFTER: CAPT B.

The team had a restriction of movement by 1st "TIGER" Bde. See attached report. In TEAM 20 KARLOVAC AOR there has been some CFV along the contactline, but local commanders stated that this was done by uncontrolled soldiers and that they would do everything to stop this CFV.

However, only movements of soldiers and 3 tanks T 55 are confirmed. 1 bus and 2 trucks carrying soldiers, 9 trucks with logistical or communication equipment (total 21 trucks/buses) were seen on the road from SISAK to Zagreb. Some SA CFV in SUNJA (XL 2224) area and from PRIBILOVICH BRDO (WL 9431) and KONSKA GLAVA(WL 9532). In TEAM 40 OTOCAC AOR the situation was calm and stable, but with an increase in troop rotation. = UN SECRET "SERBSKA KRAJINA" In TEAM 11 PLASKI AOR the situation was quiet, but tense due to the fact that the HOT-LINE between VOJNOVAC (WL 2600) and PLASKI (WK 2791) is not working yet. TEAM 21 TUSILOVIC: Quiet in whole AOR. In TEAM 31 PETRINJA AOR activity as mentioned above under ~ SISAK. In the AOR of TEAM 41 situation continues to be tense along the CFL with BIHAC pocket from BOGOVOLJA (WK 6090) to TRZACKA RASTELLA (WK 6180) due to heavy shelling and fighting in the area between 5th Corps and ABDIC forces. The team investigated alleged Serbian shelling into BIHAC pocket. See attached report. In TEAM 50 GLINA AOR the general situation is calm except that RSK army in the area G. ZIROVAC (WK 8996) has been shelling with 76 mm arty across the border to BIHAC. Commander of D Coy/DANBatt confirmed the shelling. 2. MAJOR MOVEMENTS/REDEPLOYMENT OF FORCES: a. RSK. NTR. b. CROATIA. Reference last week report on the possibility of artillery units in the area of RECICA (WL 5240), Team 20 has observed approx ten soldiers at the same time in the local coffee shop with the same arty badge. The badge looks like a M 46 gun, and the 1etters on the badge are: " 1 0 TD 130 MM". These soldiers have just been seen in the vicinity of RECICA. When leaving the coffee shop they are always walking or driving towards POKUNSKA LUKA (WL 5240) or ZAMRSJE (WL 5440). At 13 Dec one of the officers with this badge was in office of the LO's in KARLOVAC. On 10' Dec, one tank T54/55 was observed at WL 4330 heading South. 3. CHANGES TO ORDER OF BATTLE: a. RSK. NTR b.

Commander of 11 Bde/Kordun Corps has been elected as a member of Parliament in the 12' December KRAJINA election. b. CROATIA. NTR 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS: a. RSK Serb side seems satisfied with, and eager to continue, the local "gentleman agreements". This is presumable due to the fact that they are more or less "paralyzed" until the new parliament and president will start to work. LO/Kordun Corps, Col Slobodan LAZAROVIC, stated that RSK army needed these agreements to reorganize and regroup, but that "nobody" on the Serb side believed that the Croat would = UN SECRET = • = UN SECRET = allow this peaceful time to last. In spite of the fact that many Serbs seem to think that the Croat will attack already before Christmas, this HQ don't think anything will happen before midj- or end of January -94. The reason is the elections held in Krajina 12 Dec. The new parliament and President will probably send a delegation to Serbia to talk to President MILOSEVIC. After that they will (also probably) start secret talks with the Croatian authorities. By this time we will be at the end of January. b. CROATIA. The Croatian side of sector North seem to be divided into two parts • From KARLOVAC to the East they seem to show goodwill towards the Serbs (even if the withdrawal of one battalion of 2nd "THUNDER" Bde only partly has been confirmed by UNMOs). From KARLOVAC to the South they are more hostile and the teams are more restricted in their movements. with the increased regularity of troop rotation and evidence of physical fitness exercises in this area it is possible that there is preparation under way for a possible "exercise". = UN SECRET = UNPROFOR UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH TVA: _ PAGE 1 OF4 TVZ: _ PER: _ UIT: _ XXXXXXX/PRIORITY/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXX/UN SECRET OUTGOING FAX NO: DATE/TIME: 09 DEC 93/18:00 TO: UNMO HQ ZAGREB FROM: UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH FAX NO: 041-171-688 FAX NO: ATTN: EYES ONLY FOR: FILE REF NO: MIO MIO UNMO HQ DRAFTER: CAPT B'~ TITLE: MIO RELEASING ~~ ER: T R SIGNATURE: ./~ L L INFO: FAX NO: BY HAND COURIER SUBJECT: WEEKLY INFOSUM : 02 DEC - 09 DEC 93 MESSAGE 1.

CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS: • a. RSK Although the local cease-fire/no shooting agreements seems to hold, minor violations occur. In the first place this might indicate that a lack of will on the part of the local commanders can occur to agree with the terms of the "gentlemen agreements". Secondly elements of outside the area are brought in in order to keep the tension on a certain level. This is probably to keep the local soldiers motivated, as stated by one of the local commanders, until a further development in development of a cease-fire agreement is reached. The uncertain outcome of the on-coming elections are also due to this situation. It is noted that Serb side is not willing to attack, but want to consolidate in a Cyprus-like situation. = UN SECRET = .. = UN SECRET b. CROATIA. From CA side minor violations also occur. The recently discovered presence of soldiers of artillery units in the area might indicate troop redeployment. Also the increased presence of military police at several key-points in the area might indicate certain activities. Increased patrol activities in the area must lead to confirmation. Unless these activities at this moment, there is the impression that CA is not going to attack in this area. The outcome of the on-coming elections in RSK will probably clear up the Croatian intensions for the near future. = UN SECRET = ~ «: UNPROFOR UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH TVA: _ PAGE 1 OF 3 TVZ: _ PER:---- UIT: _ XXXXXXX/PRIORITY/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXX/UN SECRET OUTGOING FAX NO: DATE/TIME: 25 NOV 93/18:00 TO: UNMO HQ ZAGREB FROM: UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH FAX NO: 041-171-688 FAX NO: ATTN: EYES ONLY FOR: FILE REF NO: MIO MIO UNMO HQ DRAFTER: CAPT B.

I T-72/84 near GENERALSKI STOL WL 2921. 4 suspected AMMO trucks near UUBOSINA WL 1218. 1 M-48 76 mm gun in VRBOVSKO WL 0624. The number of personel from TIGER BDE seems to be increasing. TEAM 20 KARLOVAC reported 3 Tanks T-55 at TURANJ at CA-side, and 1 TANK T-55 near the Milk factory WL 45 36. 3. CHANGES TO ORDER OF BATTLE: TEAM 30 and 31, SISAK and PETRINJA, have discovered that CA-army probably have sufficient with troops in the area ofSISAK to launch an attack. % See attached report from TEAM SISAK. [The information was brought to ZAGREB the 23 of september, and the report was made there.]. 4. CHANGES TO MAJOR EQUIPMENTS: a. BiH. NTR. b. Serb. NTR. c. Croatian NTR. 5. NEW PERSONALITIES: a. BiH NTR. b. Serb. NTR. c. Croatian. NTR. = UN SECRET = \ = UN SECRET = 6. CHANGES TO STATE OF READINESS: a. BiH. Situation is relaxed. b. RSK. No change. Still ready to take a CA attack. In the area of PETRINJA there are a high grade of readiness. c. CROATIA. No change. Still ready to take a RSK attack. It is possible that CA-side is building forces, or have done it, in SISAK area to launch an attack. 7. CHANGES IN POLITICAL/CIVIL SITUATION: a. BiH. NTR. b. Serb. Besides the area ofPETRINJA, the other part of UNPA seems relaxed. Coffee bars are open, soldiers are coming back from their duty to have some times off. There are more restriction of movement in RSK, than before the 9' of september, but UNMOs are still allowed to patrol, only some part of the front line is closed, and some area inside the UNPAs. In TEAM 11 PLASKI area the situation is very tense. LOCALCDR have told UNMOs that they will be allowed to leave the town, if CA-side attack. c. CROATIA. Still very tense. Peoples attitude against UNMOs are changing and are comparatively less friendly than before. All UNMO teams in CROATIA are heavily restricted in freedom of movement. None of the teams are able to visit the frontlines, and they are only allowed to use mainroads. In the latest week, TEAM 10 OGULIN and TEAM 30 SISAK patrolling with their CALO has been stopped, and turned back. Only explanation was that they were not allowed to pass. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS a. Serb. RSK seems not to intend to attack, but there are troops and armor in the area behind TURANJ, in the area of PERJASICA, and in the area ofPLASKI who probably can launch a minor attack. If RSK are going to attack, it most probably will happen against KARLOVAC or against the mainroad between KARLOVAC and OGULIN. It seems most likely that an attack from RSK side, will come as an retaliation if CA-side are going to attack in SISAK area. The most probably retaliation on CA attack seems still to be heavy shelling of towns in CROATIA. = UN SECRET = • = UN SECRET = In the area of PLASKI the situation is very tense, more infiltration from CA side can cause a major CFV from RSK side. b. Croatia. CA-army seems to have sufficient with troops in the area of SISAK, to launch an attack against RSK. See the attached report. It is possible too that it is a political game, with the aim to have RSK side to retaliate "without" any reason, and after that launch an attack or have a better reason to get UNPROFOR out. The possibility of a CA attack to gain ZAGREB-LIPOVAC highway has to be taken under consideration to. = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = UNPROFOR UNHO HC SECTOR NORTH TVA: PAGE 1 OF.s- TVZ: ----_ PER: UIT:----_ XXXXXXX/PRIORITY/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXX/UN SECRET OUTGOING FAX NO: DATE/TIME: 171800B Sep 93 TO: UNMO HQ ZAGREB FROM: UNMO HQ SECTOR NORTH FAX NO: 041-171- 688 FAX NO: ATTN: MIO EYES ONLY FILE REF NO: _834_ DRAFTER: Ma j or P.H.Skibelund TITLE: MIO RELEASING OF E/JC~ ': ~ F TE R SIGNATURE: C.

It seems not likely that CA-forces will launch an attack against RSK in Sector North, but if they do so, it probably will start from MALA KAPELA GR WK 24 87 or from the area of 12HGR in the area between SISAK and KARLOVAC. 7. CHANGES IN POLITICAL/CIVIL SITUATION: a. ItiH. NTR. b. ~. % See attached INFO from civil affairs. By reading that, it is obviously that there will happen major changes in "SERBSKA KRAJINA".

Specially the draft "Some Ideas About the Serbian ' Croatian Crisis" is interesting. TEAM SISAK was arrested the 13' of september, when they were doing there job as UNMOs. The TEAM was on a roof top observing the exchange of shelling. MILITIJA accused the TEAM adjusting the fire. The TEAM was released at 2100 hours. 14/09 at 1615 hours CA-police arrived at TEAM SISAKs accommodation, asking them why they were in the area, and demanding that they surrender their map. TEAM leader refused and advised CALO. It is obviously that CA propaganda against UNPROFOR has succeeded to make the population hostile. TEAM KARLOVAC and TEAM OGULIN has been advised to take care and to keep a low profile. 8. CAPABILITIES/INTENTIONS a. Serb. The intentions of the Serbs is assessed to be to defend the territories already seized. It is doubtful = UN SECRET = = UN SECRET = that they have any offensive ambitions. If CA-army Rt fulfill the agreement of pUlling out from the three villages in sector south, shelling most probably will start again. The shelling against KNIN last night make the situation more difficult to predict. Retaliation against ZAGREB is a possibility we have to consider. b. Croatian. At the moment it looks like CA-army is going out of the three villages they took near GOSPIC. C~-side will have trouble explaining the population that the attack and the withdrawal is a wise decision. The shelling against KNIN don't make sense in this situation, it only make the situation more dangerous, while CA-side by withdrawing try to cool down the situation. The assessment for the coming week is: If CA-ARMY withdraw from GOSPIC area, it will most likely remain calm. If not, CA-ARMY have to fight a full scale war. = UN SECRET = UNPROFOR UNMO HQ SECTOR SOUTH ROUTINE/PRIORITY/IMMEDIATE/MOST IMMEDIATE UNCLASSIFIED/RESTRICTED/CONFIDENTIAL/CRYPTO/ONLY TO: UNMO HQ ZAGREB FROM: UNMO HQ SECTOR SOUTH KNIN ATTN: EYES ONLY FOR: FILE REF NO MIO UNMO HQ DRAFTER CAPT JUHA MOISIO TITLE MIO RELEASING OFF: SIGNATURE INFO : (BY HAND) UNMO GOSPIC/UNMO SIBENIK/UNMO ZADAR/UNMO OTOCAC/UNMO SINJ/UNMO KORENICA/UNMO BIHAC/UNMO SECTOR NORTH TOPUSKO/OPS HQ SECTOR SOUTH/UNHCR/CAC SUBJECT: INFOSUM 30 AUG 93 - 24 SEP 93 MESSAGE 1. SUMMARY OF MIL ACTIVITY: a. A relatively calm period in the begining of the month lasted until 09 Sep 93 when the situation escallated in the Maslenica region and Medak areas. After the attack the CA launched its attack on villages of citluk and Divo Selo in the morning of 9 Sep 93 shelling and military activity on the CFL of Sector South extended from Otocac to the southern parts of the AOR. Only a token SA force was deployed in the region. Based on local sources it is assessed the CA launched two main spearheads into the area, one from the north supported by tanks and by infantry from the south (Velebit mountains). It is assessed that two battalions were used in this attack. As a result of the attack the civilian population fled from the area. The SA responded to the attack with artillery attacks into various sites (military and civilian) including Zagreb, Sisak and Zadar, these shellings resulted in several civilian casualties that could be confirmed by UNMOs. Surprisingly CA did not respond to the shelling of Zagreb by shelling Knin until the evening of 16 Sep 93. After negotiations the CA agreed to withdraw from the villages seized in the Medak region. The UN troops being ready to operate on 15 Sep 93 could not proceed as the final agreement had to be passed down on the CA side by MajGen Stipetic. After his arrival a clear change in attitude of the CA could be seen. r , The Medak operation started on effectively 16 Sep 93 and can operationally be considered a success for UNPROFOR. The cooperation between UNPF's various departments worked extreamly well throughout the operation. UNMOs provided the necessary liason, recce and support needed especially on the CA side and held areas before handover. The fact that UN was stalled from entering the villages as initially planned by UHPF gave the CA the time needed to systematically destroy the villages and carry out the autrocities in the villages. Even though CA cooperated relatively well the information flow to the field, either by purpose or due to lack of control of the troops in CA, was poor. The UNMO reinforcements to the two teams operationg in the (Gracac and Gospic) were sent back to their own teams on 18 Sep 93. b. After the conclusion of the Medak operation the UNMO Sector South AOR has been relatively quiet, eventhough some regional artillery and tank fire has occured, mainly in the southern parts of the Sector. Shelling from both sides has been directed at both military and civilian targets (UNHO confirmed) . c. Protests Total 491 CA 397 SA 94 2. MAJOR MOVEMENT / REDEPLOYMENT OF FORCES: a. Croatian Side: 1. According to ECMM info a battalion in the Sibenik/Sinj frontline was relieved from its duties during the week following the attack in the Medak region (see ECMM report). It has been replaced and it is assessed that one additional battalion has been brought to the area. 2. During the Medak operation we received info from ECMM obtained from local serb sources that there was a relatively large amount of internationals fightinhg in the operation. The international unit is lead by a Spaniard, several Germans had been observed. This info can not be confirmed by UNMOs. b. Serb Side: 1. The Medak pocket area has been reinforced, so that the total amount of forces is estimated at 1200 troops with some artillery, tanks and FFR's. Bosnian troops have been seen in the area. 2. During the week 21 Sep 93 some 300 to 400 troops have been brought thru Knin to the Teslingrad area (north of .. ~. Medak). No attack groupings have been observed. 3. New troops have been seen in the Kistanje area, where 32 trucks have been observed. Amount and origin of troops unknown. 4. Night train traffic has been observed on railroad strumica to Knin. Cargo unknown. 5. A new Free Flight Rocket Launcher has been obsevered in Benkovac area. 3. CHANGES OF ORBAT: a. Croatian Side: NTR b. Serb Side: NTR 4. CHANGES IN MAJOR EQUIPMENT: a. Croatian Side: NTR b. Serb Side: NTR 5. NEW PERSONNALITIES/SPECIAL PERSONS: a. Croat Side: 1. New commander in the Sibenik/Sinj area. See ECMM report handed to MIO 2 at conference. 2. The operation on CA side in Medak region is run by a Special Police Brigadier. Name unknown. Will advise. 3. BrigGen Ademi is originally a Albanian from Kosovo. b. Serb Side: 1. Gen Mladic was seen in Knin on 7 Sep 93. Compare this with handout from MIO conference on "Leadi nq Political Parties in Yugoslaviall page 2 para 3 concerning contacts and compare also with para 7 C of this report. 2. List of personalities being checked at this moment. RSK listing has been provided by hand carry mail. UNPROFOR list will be checked and provided soonest. 6. CHANGES IN STATE OF READINESS: Serb side is reinforcing its defence north of Velebit Mts. 7. CHANGES IN POLITICAL AND CIVILIAN SITUATION: a. Electricty is now provided basically every second day in Knin. According to local sources the electricty is being "imported" from BiH. b. The situation in Podlapaca (protected village of 117 Croats) is tense as the local authorities do not seem to want to put in the full effort in the region. If there are any violences in the village this will automatically affect UNPF. Matter pursued by Civilian Affairs. c. The cease fire discussions that should have started 48 hours after the final stage of the Medak operation did not succeed as the SA was unable to agree on them on the politicl level. According to Col Kosta Novakovic, who with his strong Belgrade contacts is the man behind the most things going on in SA top level, stated that the military was ready for the talks but the civilian politicians were not and wanted to start talking on various conditions related to the Medak pocket. 8. MOVEMENT AND CROSSINGS: a. The sector has four crossing points: 1. Miranje WJ4670 (all UN, ECMM, ICRC open btw 0800 - 1800 with 24 hrs notice). 2. Three UN X-ing points in the Medak pocket are open to UNMOs and CANBAT liaison personnel 24 hrs a day: a. Medak - Gospic rd WK 3725 b. Ornice WK 3227 c. Licki Ribnik WK 3525 b. Teams have limited freedom of movement basically in all their aor's. The most restricted teams have been teams Sibenik and Sinj. On CA side LO's are required for patrols. The most restricted area on SA side is the Drnis area. 9. NOTES AND ASSESMENTS: a. The attack into the citluk area can not be regarded as only a military operation to gain ground. The following points should be noted at the same time: 1. Straightening of the front line; 2. Providing a security zone for Gospic from arty fire (CA statement made on several occasions. If so the attack should have been intended, as it possibly was, much further into Serb territory. As it seemed to fail, it stopped about 10 kms from the positions prior to 9 Sep 93. ); 3. The Velebit Mt tunnel; 4. The CA was looking for an operation where it could gain an easy victory, boost the moral of the troops and justify its excistance better to the public; 5. A part of an operation that tried to secure Maslenica bridge and Zadar region; and 6. citluk and Divo Selo is the region where Ante Pavelic is from and the influence of his family and compatriots is relatively high and might have affected the decision made on the attack. NOTE: The Medak operation is now over and focus should be placed on future dispite the success in the operation. b. The Maslenica bridge has been mentioned in the Knin media recently only on occasions. It seems to be that the Knin authorities have accpted the fact the bridge excists and is being used. The bridge region comes under shelling mainly when traffic on the bridge is heavy or used by military components. CA definately wants and needs to keep the bridge open almost at any cost. c. Some rumours have been going around (from local sources usually quite reliable) that there is an agreement between Zagreb and Belgrade on exchange of territory in some areas. Eventhough this is unlikely this should not be totally disregarded. d. It is assessed that incursions and small scale frontline action by infantry will continue especially on the southern flank of the AOR. At this stage neither side has enough strength to run a major offensive in the region or has enough troops to overpower the other. CA is able and will continue to use its infantry in minor operations on frontlines. e. CA has once again won the propaganda war (Medak operation) that the SA failed, totally, to use in its advantage in the international media. Latest evidence of this is the 27 Sep 93 article in Time magazine concerning the Balkans where the attack and raise in tension are mentioned as well as the MiGs, Serb missiles and cluster bombs but not a comment is made about the devostation or killings in the three villages in the Medak area. f. BriGens Ademi and Mezic seem to be at a lower status now then before Medak operation. h. If the cease fire discussions fail or do not resume it is possible that one of the two sides will try to go for the military option dispite the resource problems. If the cease fire talks brockered by UN succeed (UN sems to have a good chance to influence SA at this stage) the situation will calm down for some time. The results of the BiH talks and use of troops in that area will influence the situation in the region definately. i. The economical situation on both sides with war weariness will eventually have an effect on the politicians, but not on a short term. j. Serious consideration should be given to the possible impacts and propabilities on the facts I point out in para 5.b.l. Some UN sources with political contacts in Knin do indicate to the constant strong influence of the hard-liners. Also the presence and possible impact of Arkans, Dragans and "chetnik" troops in the region that are not under local command should be carefully considered. At present I do not have any idea of their command and control. • .""',..IIbl:...... ,...... _ .. anj , ... _ 1M nll• ..., l>ejoo 18 """"bo I...... -We _ " ..._ ....
