SUBJECT: Visit of us CongressionalDeleiation to SectorNorth - Tuesday5 July '94
1. Thank you for your memo of 27 June on the above mentioned visit. As offered, I would very much like to have CIVPOL in Sector North participate in the visit, particularly in view of the important role the officers play in the Zone of Separation.
2. I believe that Mr Zhiang, the Civil Affairs Coordinator, in Sector North is co ordinating the detail of the visit. I am unsure as to what briefing arrangements he is making for the visit but would hope that CIVPOL is involved. Ideally, and of course depending on the length of time the US party will be on board the bus they are travelling in whilst in the Zone of Separation, I would like a representative of CIVPOL to be on board to answer any questions that might arise.
3. Again I am unsure of the contacts that the CAC in Sector North has made with the local authorities in the Sector, but I do know that Mr Hrvoje Sarinic, Head of the State Com.mission of the Republic of Croatia for relations with UNPROFOR, has been informed of the visit by the HCA. I hope therefore that there will not be any problems at the Croatian checkpoint on entering the Sector.
4. I am most grateful for your help with this visit. ,,..-. , --r ·, "it 1M , • ( I I IMMEDIATE ft ¥7 _ UNPR.OFOR . \- \

MESSAGE
Attached are copies of self-exp l anatory correspondence from Sector North concerning the protection of cultural monuments. You will note the opinion of the ore, Sector North, that the efforts of the Serb milicija are limited and that more concerted attention by the Knin authorities wou l d better safeguard and minimize damage to such monuments.
Please raise this matter wi th Mr. Prij i c ("Minister of the Interior") and also with higher Serb author i ties as circumstances arise. You could point out that such cultural monuments are an asset to any society and that failure to protect them adequately not only risks the destruction of irrep l aceable monuments but also generates negative loca l and internat i onal perceptions.

SUBJECT: Visit of us CongressionalDelegation to SectorNorth - Tuesday5 July '94
1. On Tuesday 5 July a delegation from the US Congress, led by Congressman Howard Berman, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Operations, is to visit Sector North. The visit has been approved by the SRSG.
2. A provisional list of participants is attached; the delegation will be travelling in a bus with Croatian number plates, entering the Sector at the Turanj crossing ..
3. The delegation only wish to spend 30 minutes in the Sector from 1130 hours to 1200 hours. It is their intention to spend that 30 minutes in the Zone of Separation only, without crossing the Serb checkpoint. They would also like to visit an OP in the Zone, preferably one with a view of Karlovac, and beyond to Zagreb. During their brief time in the area I am assuming that an UNPROFOR military escort will be required and also participation from a representative of Civil Affairs.
4. I would be grateful if you could notify the Sector of this proposed visit and obtain their assessment of the security implications, if any; for the group and, advice regarding the clearances necessary. f

INFO OSRSG, DI, FC, DFC, MNAT, HCA, CAC SECTOR/S FROM JAQUE GRINBERG, SPAO / p-- DATE 23 June 1994
SUBJECT KAKMA; CROATIANGOVERNMENT LIAISON OFFICE VIEWS
Mr. Tom~ (Head, Croatian Government Liaison Office) met with me this morning at his request. While formally he said he wished to discuss the Kakma issue, in fact there were two clear themes in his conversation: (a) his concern that the issue of Croatia and the UNP As was not receiving sufficient attention both in the international media and in UNPR0F0R; and (b) dangerous tensions against the Serbs and UNPROFOR were developing among the population of Beograd and Zadar and these needed to be defused.
On his first concern, I was able to brief him on UNPR0F0R efforts to focus international media attention on Croatia including by bringing senior editors to the mission area and by producing in the near future a regular newsletter on developments in the UNP As. To~ fully supported this but added that UNPR0FOR itself was perceived by the Croatian Government as focusing on BH to the detriment of Croatia. At senior levels, UNPROF0R had insufficient exposure to, and contact with, senior Croatian Government membas and officials.
Concerning incr~ tensions in the Zadar area, To~ said that the local population had been stirred up by· hard-line articles in the media and the situation had become vecy unhelpful. He suggested that the CAC from Sector South should meet local authorities in Zadar on Monday, 27 June to explain all the efforts UNPR0FOR had made, and that an agreed statement to the press should be made showing UNPR0FOR in a good light and putting recent developmentsin a more positive perspective. We agreed to discuss this further on 24 June. -
- 2 - COMMENT 0180
While it is not clear whether Toma~ was expressing his own views or those of his superiors (including Sarinie) the basic message he was delivering was a plea for help. With Croatian domestic politics-in turmoil, and the Sabor meeting without the opposition attending, hardliners and extremists dominate the public agenda. Toma! was arguing that UNPROFOR's contacts with these groups is very limited, UNPROFOR is receiving a very bad press, and tensions are rising in key areas. Underlying this is Croatia's concern that its problems are being given a lower priority both internationally and within UNPROFOR. This message may not be entirely altruistic (Tomd is still unhappy about not being on the CJC and about his office becoming marginalized), but it does raise the question whether there is a gap in our contacts with the Croatian Government and whether there is more that can be ~one through local P & I initiatives to defuse the anti UNPROFOR hostility that is being generated in the media. - (.((I OFFICE OF THE FORCE COMMANDER r ).&' : I ACTION COORD INFO FC'S COMMENTS ; 10 FC l DFC cos CLOG/ADM CAO SRSG HCA CMO cocc CMNAT TO

DATE . 21 June 1994 SUBJECT: Threats to UNCIVPOLfrom Korenica Re; unsettled Claims Ref . your message of 20 June regarding an unsettled claim resulting from a traffic accident involving a L"N vehicle. This is, admittedly, a long running problem that puts your officers i n an untenable situation. 7he focus from the incoming message is, however, too one-sided. By implication, the CIVPOL station commander in Korenica is forwarding what would appear an illegal threat to UNPROFORpersonnel while at the same time conceding that UNPROFORowes payinent to this claimant . Perhaps it has already been determine~ that UNPROFORbears a liability to this person. It is not, however, evident from the message. Whether or not ONPROPORis liable for damages in this accident, we should proceed in a case such as this along a course of action that: (a) Serves notice to the threatening claimant that notwithstanding the alleged liability of L""NPROFORin the accident, the threat, itself is · illegal and unacceptable. This should have been done in writing in Korenica to the local chief of milicija and copied to the Ministry of Interior in Knin identifying the name of the person. The person himself should be informed of this in writing as w~ll as the fact that UNPROFORwill take unidentified cefensive neasures should he carry out his threat. (b) Assures the claimant, also in writing, that his case has 11 been forwarded to the UN Administration for settlement. The C iv(C ~ length of the time it may take tc settle t~ese kind of claims is not itself indicative of the CN's attitJde towards the cl aimant and it does not mean it will not be settled if at the end of the procedure his claim is sustained.

GENERAL SI'l'UAT:IOII The fighting between Abdi _c _forces arid V · corps in the Bihac pocket since 10 June has, to a certain extent, disrupted the normal peace process in Sector North. The Serb side · canceled the Sactor level Joint ColDlllission meeting at Moscenica sohe_duled on 1? June.

The reason given by the Serb _side for the cancellations was that they were busy prepa~ing for the Plitvice 1i1eeting .. However, we feel that the situation in the Bihac pocket should be the main factor. The Serb forces in the Sector did not provid any significant military support to Abdic forces until today, though since the beginning of this round of conflict, heavy WC:!apons (1220 howitzers) have b•en moved to the border areas (in aanija) or simply turned around. from the storage site (in Kordun), pointing at Bihac pocket. .Al.though only sporadic or symbolic shootings and shelling from . the Sector into the Bibac pocket were reported at t irst, it is felt that the Serb forces in SN are ready to intervene militarily if v Corps push further and threaten the survival of Abdic. ccording to the latest military report, v Corps started another round of offensive today. As a result, more Serb artilary support has been reported. The out-going shelling can be heard even in Topusko. If this con:tlict escalates and the situation gets worse for the local population in the Bihac pocket, SN would expect large number of refugees from the Abdic controlled area. It is also likely that this situation may provide the Serbs with an excuse to slow down the on-going peace process with the Croats at least at the local level. II. RBTURlf OF DPs TO GLIJISll POLJAIIA on 15 June, in his meeting at Brest with the SN delegation led by "le SC, Gen. St.ipetic raised the issue or return of the DPs. He claimed that he would not push for the return of DPs in · oth~r areas d~• to reasons of safety a_nd security. However, in_Glinska Pol -jana, mines have been lifted, - and the DPs wanted to go .back and resettle. Loans for . the DPs to repair houses have bee ·n provided by the government. If the DPs could not use the loans ~ithin certain period, they would lose them. Furthermore, there were co.mplaints that before the CFA the DPs could go back to the area and now they war• prevented fro■ entering the area. 2 ia!003 18 / 06 ' 94 14:30 'a52j0 1\0~!1 - - - - - · ------r ~---·---;;:--- - ~ safety and security of the DPs, and that UNHCRw4s coordinating the issue regarding the return of the D.Fs. Therefore, he should discuss thii.:, particular resettlement issue with UNHCRfirst. I:II. HUMANITARIANAND BUMAlf RIGHTS ISSUES 1) on 15 June, Civil Affairs arranged the visit by a Human Rights Officer from UN centre for Human Rights to the Glina prison. Eda Vencl and his defense lawyer were met. An arrangement was also made for the Human Rights Officer to visit the prison in Vojnic, and an alleged human rights abuse case in the prison was discussed • . After learning that more than 100 armer prisoners were recently arrested again after their release, and llegedly p~t in a prison in Sector West, the Human Rights Officer promised to look into the matter. 2) Mr. To1:1as' Office claimed that they would stop issui.ng authorization to transfer and (Serb) family visit cases since no Croats had been allowed to visit their relatives in SN, In fact, Civil Af~airs SN did not receive troll Tomas' Office requests of visits by Croats. We nevertheless continue to deal and help cases of family reunion, family visits and funeral attendances. Last week a Croat in SM was allowed by the Serb milicija to attend his wife's funeral in Karlovac. However, when ha came back from Karlovac he . . was questioned by the milicija for more than an hour. 3) - The distribution of fuel for agriculture w;~~~ be co~pleted_ in 8 municipalities this ~eek.end. Distribution of 46 1 000 litres in tlie last two municipalities will begin from Monday, 20 June. We will complete the distribution to all the private farmers in SN on 23 June. 3 I,_ 22-06. I ; ,.

The delegation will be l •ed by Congressman Howard Berman, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Operations. Our current information is that the delegation will consist of seven members of the House of Representatives, along with several spouses and staff. The names of the delegation are on the attached sheet. The delegation will be in Croatia for only one day, on Tuesday, July 5. Per their program, I would request your assistance in arranging the following: 1) Escort for a short tour of the zone of separation at the Turanj crossing in Karlovac, including a stop at the POLBATT OP on the hill just above the crossing point. We expect the visit would require approximately 30 minutes, and would take place from 11:30 to noon. 2) A briefing for the delegation by UNPROFOR from 3:30 to 4:30 p.rn. Because of the time constraints faced by the group, I would request that the group receive a joint briefing by yourself and the force commander, if possible. Once again, I appreciate your assistance with these arrangements. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Rick Holtzapple of the Embassy political section. ?\incertf ~, ~~,i~ ~eter dalbrai th Attachment i ! :r: ...;, ;;C sr\ .

In the last two weeks a spate of such requests have been denied by beth the Serb local authorities and Zagreb. While Zagreb's denial for funeral attendances for those from C.:-oatia proper comes as an unfortunate surprise the contagion has not spared the Serbs: they have started to look upon visitation reqt;.ests from the UNPA to Croatia proper with disfavor. The only redee~ing feature is that both sides continue to allow transfers. Croatian intransigence hit hard the relatives of a ·1s ·year old boy who had died in a road accident in the Sector on 6 June. On ber.alf of the relatives on the Croatian aide we had sought Zagreb's clearance to attend the fu~eral of their de~eased nephew. Sadly, that request was negatived. Wr..en we reminded the Croatian interlocutor tha: the authorization was towards a funeral attendance the acerbic response was, "ask them to go through Serbia. 11 Comparing notes amongsc ourselves we realized that it was not an aberration: a pattern seemed to be emergir.g. a~ the Se=b side, the Sector headquarters of the local milicija in Vojnic has undergone a complete rer.ovation.

While the secre-=ary of the Kord·.m milicija was the apex authority to-process and review visitations from Kordu~ r.cw a new unit for such purposes has been created. The chief of ~his uni~ is responsible for, as the secretary put it, "border control with Crcatia and the '~'"WAP' ". The wo::-ds 'immigra.::ion and customs' could have also beer: added to the functions! Thus any mover.tent of civiliar:s through the Turanj check po ,int leadi:ig to Croatia proper and the Maljevac crossing providing access to Fikret Abdi::'s fiefdom - 11North Western Autonomous P:-ovince" of Bosnia and Hercegcvina will fall under this unit's purview. Already a handful of s~ch v!sitation requests some of chem from septuager.aria~ worre~ have been turned down. It is not surprising that this has happen~d because the new interlocutor has alwavs been seen as a strict constructior.ist. We cannot believe thac the choice of someone like him for this sensitive assignment can be accidental. The changes smack of the endless urge on the Serb side towards state building. The attempt to centralize visitation requests and process them in K.~in (as suggested by the Serb side in one of the Sector level join= commission meetings) should be juxtaposed with this. Besides, the all pervasive need for the milicija to leash a tight rein shculd not be forgotten for as we had reported earlier visitations were slowly getting routine. Yesterday the Croatian interlocutor told us that a decisicn to suspend all visit authorizations across -che board, until the outcome of the 16, 17 Plitvice meeting h::1.s been :reached at the higher l .evels of his government. The inte~locutor how2ver, admitted that nothing much was expected from the Plitvice meetings. Consequently, it is not very clear how the Croatian side will respo;id to visit:ation requests after this date. While the Plitvice meetings provide a topical understanding for the current Croat shift, the change also betrays the long st:and::.ng; Croat frustration on -:.he subject of family meetings. The Croats believe and to a certain extent correctly that they have been more than forthcoming in this area, .. However fruit~ess, the putting off of visitations can be read as a symbolic tit for tat. While visitations have been turned into a game o: oneupmanship, those yearning for cc~tacts on both sides continue to languish.

GENERALSITUATION The situation in the Sector has been basically calm and • quiet. The major issues covered by the CFA of 29 March seemed to have been solved, and minor adjustments and improvements are underway. The main concern of the Serb side now appeared to be some of the militant rhetoric advocated by the Croatian side. At the Sector level Joint Commission meeting held on 6 June at TUranj, the Serb delegation raise the · issue. The answer from the Croatian delegation was that political party statements did not represent the position of the government and the army. /f:lAI a::,.g/CA ' $ PAfJ, PC- I _Df"'c,,,QSRStl, I .D ' ,._sz__AI a:,vp~L 1 MNAT co_g_ ' - 11( 06 '94 18 : 23 fi'l5250 ~ORTH <:2_/2 7 .:::> on the eve of the second phase of negotiations, economic and humanitarian issues seemed to have become the focus of attention for both sides. The Serb side stepped up their efforts to reopen factories in the zos. The Croatian side continued their pressure on the issue of DPs. Civil Affairs SN have been working for the resumption of the long-abandoned family meetings and for the continuation of the barely started family visits. Last week, the Croatian side refused to approve 3 (Serb) funera ·l attendance requests into the Sector. One family visit case (Slovak) was also refused by the Croatian side, the first refusal on such a case. This was said to be a policy change on the Croatian side. However, we suspect that this sudden change may be in a way linked to the VJESNIK article reporting the demolition of houses in Rastoke village in Slunj. II. EOO VEHCL CASE Further to our report of a June 1994 on this case, civPol, previously denied access by the Serb judicial authorities, have started to follow the case . According to a recent CivPol report, Martic requested the file of Vencl, and the regional court in Glina had therefore provided all the information to him. However, CivPol was again refused by the president of the regional court to visit Mr. Vencl in prison. The reason given was that this kind of crime had too many political implications. CivPol was promised meeting Vencl only after the first court proceedings, the date of which was not yet decided. • Due to the above mentioned situation, Civil Affairs SN will try, along with representatives of the centre for Hu.man Rights, to visit Vencl again next week if it is possible. (We have visited him twice before after his detention.) III. HUMANITARIAN ISSUES 1) We have again approached the Serb milicija on the subject of family meetings at the crossings, pointing out the fact that people got killed and wounded in Banija and arrested for unauthorized :2 Jl / 06 '94 18 : 24 '8'ti250 ,\ORTII visits to the other side in l 2) The distribution of hW!lanitarian fuel for agriculture has been continuing smoothly~ According to our plan, by the end of next week (lB June), we should be able to finish distribution to private farmers in 9 of the 10 municipalities. The state owned farms will be dealt with later. 3) The withdrawal or reduction of ICRC aid program starting from J4ly will surely have an impact on the social cases covered by ICRC in the Sector, since UNHCRusually do not cover social cases. I rv. INTERESTINC EVENTS 1) On 5 June, the UNA/USAdelegation visited SN, and were held at the Serb checkpoint at Turanj for about an hour. They wer~ briefed at HQ/SN by the military, CivPol and Civil Affairs, and shown the OP and CPs at Turanj crossing. 2) On 10 June, HSP (Hrvaska Stranka Prava), a newly established opposition party, held a political rally of 100-150 people in Moscenica inside the zos. DANBAT, CivPol and Croatian police monitored the event. 3) On 11 June, Martic of the "RSK" organized a celebration in • Topusko on the occasion oft.he second anniversary of "liberation and defense of the Corridor". 3 CIVIL AFFAIRS NOTE 9 June 1994 Subject: Reguest for leave by ore (SN) By the attached request Mr. s. Zhang, OIC (SN), requests leave for the period 9 - 30 July. Sector North is short of a CAC and one CvAO. Under the circumstances, I propose to assign Mr. A.

Those factories have not been in func on due o war. At the same time we have .to -express astonishment finding out (from your memo} that UN HQ Zagreb issued permission for having a DANBATCoy camp located in our company "IPD SAVA". We are surprised that UNPROPORtakes a right to act incorrectly and to treat facilities of this company as the property of UN HQ Zagreb and not ours. We can not and will not · allow the DANBAT Coy Camp to be located at the compound of "IPD SAVA" factory in Sunja. It is exclusively our property and of a vital importance -for Serb population, garticularl¥ for the citizens of ..the mu,p;i._malit ~-.- ....._...,._.G Be aware that it is ··. not reasonable to restrict our ·-activities on restoring ·the ·· · production, especially in this complicated economical and political situation. We are willing to accept the following compromise as a solution to the mentioned problem: UNPROFORis to move out of factory "IPD SAVA", while we would provide another ate premisses that we have on our,:~gosal, o be used the same purpose CPANBATCoy Camp). We sincerely . hope . that you will , _.respec.ting___our. ...will ., find it imperative to have an agreement reached and this problem solved together and in an appropriate way. We appeal to UNPROFORHQ Zagreb to reconsider their - decision relating to using the premisses of our factory as an accommodation. They are welcome to address us in finding another solution for situating the DANBATCoy Camp as we have satisfactory installations for such purpose. We are convinced that it is also your wish to have a good cooperation and that we can count on your understanding while trying to solve this common problem. With respect.

Item (5) is an amended version .. 1) Detailed reports regarding mine clearing in the area (house by house) should be provided to UNPROFOR; 2) Formal request from the Croatian side with lists of people who wish to visit their houses; 3) Detailed information (e.g. ~aps) regarding the de mining of a particular house shou1d also be provided to the DP concerned; 4) A specific period of time during the day should be agreed by UNPROFOR for the visits; 5) The visits to be organized by the authorities from the side the DPs are visiting from and accompanied by police authorized to be present in the zos with the ,presence of UNCIVPOL; The ore makes a persuasive case which is consistent with the understanding reached recently with UNHCR on this subject. The underlying consideration in the limited procedure and its justification is not mandate or legality. The return of DPs to their homes is clearly authorized by relevant SCRs provided 2 that the return is voluntary and secU1re. I believe we should advise the OIC to proceed with this pr ogramme cautiously as the circumstances permit and on a case-by-case basis.

The return of DPs -to ·the UNPAs and from the ·UNPAs -to other -parts of Croatia is not possible until the final political settlement. ·This is _known to .both sides and therefore only the return of DPs to the zos has been actually raised at this stage. According to the CFA of 29 March, the zos is under exclusive control of UNPROFOR. Therefore, we could not, as a 111atter of principle, refuse the requests of DPs from either si~e to go back the their homes in the zos. However, our major concern is the safety ·and security of the DPs· if they go back. We feel that the factors affecting the safety and security of the DPs are three- - - +iC4i J)H.C1t-\ Co~{C/lA ~FA-CG) - '.26/05 • 94 15: 48 '86250 !\ORTH 5153 2 . fold: 1) Whether the CFA or 29 March could hold, so there won't be any danger of armeq conflicts in the ZOS; 2) Mines and booby-traps in the 20S; 3) politically motivated crimes or common criminal activities. Under these circumstances, we believe that no permanent resettlement of the DPs should be taking place until all sides are convinced that the CFA will hold (not just for a few months). Only then should the UNHCR be actively involved in the systematic rehabilitation program in the zos. In sector North, the Croatian side are quite impatient on the issue of the return of the DPs, though they have repeatedly expresse~ concerns regarding the security of the population inside the zos. Besides the road repairing work started a few weeks ago at Turanj crossing and later at Glinska Poljana Crossing, requests I of returning to specific villages were received from Mr. Tomas. I visited the three villages mentioned in Mr. Tomas' letter on 24 May 1994. These villages are situated in the zos on the Serb side of the former contact line. Since the areas involved were battlefields, they have been heavily ~ined, and it is not possible to cle~r these areas ip a short period of time even if the Serb side are willing and has enough engineers to do the job. on previous occasions, UNPROFOR military expressed the difficulties for the return of the DPs because of mines. In the past weeks, the Croatian side have worked very hard in some areas to clear the mines. As a result, Sector North has recently received a request from the commander of a Croatian Army unit in Glinska Poljana area, claiming that the area had been de-mined and asking per~issioms .fo.r DPs to visit the area and assess the damages to their houses. Since we based our previous refusal to such requests on mines in the ·area, there seem~ no excuse to deny the request this time. We have, nevertheless, requested that .further written information be provided by the Croatian side on the request and mine clearing details. - _ As explained above, after assurances are given by the Croatian side guaranteeing mine-fr~e . in the area, we should be able to allow visits by civilians to the zos. In this regard, we intend to set up certai .n procedures elaborated .as follows: ._ _ - l) Detailed reports regarding mine clearing in the area (house by house) should ~e provided to UNPROFOR; 2) Formal request from the Croatian side with lists of people who wish to visit their houses; 3) Detailed information (e.g. maps) regarding the de-mining of _ a particular house should also be provided to the DP concerned: - 4) A specific period of time during the day should be agreed by UNPROFOR·t~r the vi~~ts; . · 5) The visits should always be organized by the Croatian authorities and accompanied by the po_lice with the presence of . UNCivPol; ..----- :!IS/05 '94 15 : 50 '8'6250 ~ORTH (aJ003 . . 5153 3 6) For the time being, the visits should be defined as assessment visits only, and no construction work should start. Since the prospect of a· permanent cease-fire is not yet very clear, we should be cautious about the i~sue of pe.rlllanent resettlement of the DPs. The crira.e factor would also be taken care of by the presence ot the police. There may be other elements that need to be included in the above procedures. If this approach could be taken without going through the joint commission meetings, we should be able to proceed. Please advise. Best regards. UNITED NATIONS PROTECTION FORCE FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA Special Representative of 21 May 1994 the Secretary-General Excellency, It is with concern that I have learned of the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Edo Vend in Gfina, Sector North, on 29 April 1994. He and certain other individuals were in the Zone of Separation 20 metres near the Muscenica Crossing. The others arrested with him, I am informed, were .released, except Mr. Vend. The Zones of Separation, as you are aware, are under the terms of the 29 March CFA, within the exclusive control of UNPROFOR. Further, the activities of your milicija are to he supervised by UNCIVPOL. The circumstances of arrest, the transportation and imprisonment of Mr. Vencl in Glina raise a great deal of legitimate concern on the Croatian side regarding safety and security in the ZOS. I am concerned that the continued imprisonment of Mr. Vencl, "arrested" by your milicija under the said cirumstances, will not contribute to the consolidation of peace in the area. Without prejudice as to the crime Mr. Vencl is alJeged to have committed in another place and another time, I trust you will understand the spfral of instahility in the area that would arise should the other side take similar measures in the ZOS against Serb resident'i. The terms of the CFA, as you are well aware, are only a beginning for the normalization of life for the benefit of the people living in the area. The ZOS so created should not, therefore, provide an opportunity to settle legal or political grievances either side may have with the other. We expect all of these serious issues will be ~e subject of the next phases of negotiations. Under the circumstances, it would be most appreciated if you would immediately order the unconditional release of Mr. Vencl. It is, in our view, the right step to take at this stage. Accept, ExceHency, the assurances of my highest consideration, ~ltfJz_ Yasushi Akashi His Excellency Mr. Milan Martic Knin UNIITED NATIONS - NATIONS UNIES UNPROFOR MEMORANDUM TO: ~~\ INFO: SHAO FROM: ~ DATE: 21 May 1994 SUBJECT: The Edo Vencl case 1. Mr. Edo Vencl, a Croat, was picked up by two uniformed persons in a separation zone in Sector North, detained in Glina prison, and charged with terrorism. He faces a 15-year jail sentence. The UN Centre for Human Right<; has expressed concern and it is following the case with the assistance of two local lawyers in Belgrade and Glina. 2. This case is increasingly featured in the Croatian media and politics as an example of a "gross" violation of the CFA by the Serb side. It may also become a political stumbling hlock. The individual involved (a Croat) is a former resident of Petrinja with alleged links to the "Zupan" or "Governor" of the Sisak-Moslavina County, Mr. Djuro - Brodarac. The latter is a well-connected member of the Croatian Ruling Party (HDZ). The Serbs may be holding him in prison for precisely this political connection, although they are charging him with "War Crimes" in 1990-1991. 3. It is in the interest of all sides that the case be resolved ASAP. In this regard, please find attached a draft letter to Martic, for Mr. Akashi's signature, seeking the immediate release of this person. • I. ,. . - ~ .. ., :-_.

As I told you yesterday, I discussed the matter with the Serbian Police Commissioner, Mr. Pavk:rovic, who is in command of the Milicija working in the Zone of Separation. He told me, that Mr. Vend was very well known by the Serbian Milidja as one of the Croatian "Hardliners" and as a war criminal. The Commissioner also told me, that his side was aware of the political sensibility of this case. The Serbian population in Petrinja was very upset and wanted Mr. Vencl imprisoned because of his past criminal activities. However the Commissioner was quite sure, that Mr. Vencl would be released before the next meeting in Central level Joint Commission took place. · This is not the opinion of my Chief of Operation .

Sector North - Tovuslo CIV AF/94/05/20 15 May 1991 Dear Mr. Tomas : I would like to draw yn11r-'rtf.nrion to the situatioDat Mosceoica Crossing. Since 13 May 1994, the local population ha•,e blocked the Crossing at a point inside the Zone of Separation, stopping UNPROFOR vehicles from pass.ingthrough and making the movement of UNPROFOR soldiers inside the Zone of :Separationvery difficult. Tb.islta.'i s~·h)u.~y obstntcted the normal operation of UNPROFOR in implementing the Ce.ase-fire Agreement of 29 March 1994. According to an agreement reached after more than two hours of difficult negotiations in the Sector North Joint Commission meeting held at Moscenica Crossing on 11 May 1994, the Serb milicija checkpoint should be withdrawn from the Zone of Separation. a container should be set up by Sector North at lbe Finel factory to ensure 24 hour presence of CivPol, and the Croatian side should refrain from blocking the road by local population. Mr. Josip Dolenec and Mr. Boris Bukal from the Sisak palice were present at this meeting. Accordingly, the Serb side withdrew their milicija checkpoint on 12 May. Sector North has set up the container for CivPol. However, the Moscenica. Crossing bas been blocked by local Croatian population since last Friday. · . We all know how-bard it is t.o reach an agreement, and even more so on keeping the promises. I, therefore, would app~ate very much if you could help in solving this problem. I am lookmg forward to your prompt response. ~E:.i&M .... g C"f...i:t....' .....-in Charge Civil Affairs Mr. Milivoj Tomas Head CroatianGovernment Office for Cooperation with UNP"ROFORand ECMM cc: Vladimir Milank:ovic, Police Commissioner, Sisak UNITED NATIONS PROTECTION FORCE ( U N P R O F O R ) N O T E To HCA From Ch:r:~irudjacorf· Date 10 May 1994 Subject Imprisonment of Edo Vencl by Serbs in Glina (SN) The attached story from Sector North about the imprisonment of one Edo Venal has already become a politically sensitive media stqry. The critical elements are: a) The man was allegedly picked up in a separation zone wherein, by the terms of the CFA of 29 March, UNPROFOR is supposed to have exclusive authority and UNCIVPOL supposed to supervise (not monitor) the activities of local Serb and Croat police. b) The man was "sentenced", inside the UNPA, in Glina in a process that raises more legal problems than it would seem to answer. c) The man is a close associate of the "Governor (Zupan)" of sisak - Mr. Djuro Brodarac. The latter is a well known "hardline" member of an inner loop of the HDZ - Tudjman's governing party. The issue requires full attention,· in my view, and perhaps the SRSG may wish to send an appropriate message to Martic. The objective would obviously be an immediate and unconditional release of this person. An alternative, albeit not so forceful option, is to request the CAC (SS) to make a strong dernarche in Knin. · Please let me know your preference so we can prepare the next action. UNITED NATIONS.

It ~as part of the re3~lar cxe=cises that I have carried out wicc him from time to c.ime. 2. He started off saying that there wae corrpromise in ~njn a~d now there was a governmen:.. T asked h:i..m if there were differences, were they ~ers-:::mality or issue criented. He responded t:i~t there ..,,.ere differences ir.. posi~ions. Stating that f-!artic d9si red a •·national g:>v':!~nrnent" he pointed out t h'3.t: tr.ere was a school of thought that it was not su=~ a good idea. He hin~el f belonged to tha:. s:::icol; why were elections necessary then, he posed. However, tl-.is was beh:.nd them as the g::>vermr.e:1t had been constituted. 3. He stated that there •.:ere political differe:ices but tr.ey we~e within the goverr.ment and ~ot withouc. He claimed that ~o pa=-ty cculd depart f rem i -:s av::,wed principles. ·rhe allusion he!:"e was to the preservation of c.he status quo vis-a-vls Croatia and the building cf the scate i::stitucio:-is of tne 11R8K 11 • 4. Declaring thac no ~olu:icn should be forced on the Ser~s r-e cautioned against the imposition of an econo~ic agree~ent with the Croats. He used the -::1ic.he "etep :Oy step" tc cerm c.he approach needed to be adopted by us while playlng midw.:..fe between the Serbs and the Croats. 5. He thought that ICFY was the umbrella under which a solution could be found. On furthe~ ques':ioning he was more direct and stated their official line tha:. the Krajina question should be taken up for discussior.s. He envisaged a global solution and possible exchange of territories. 6. Pointing out to the protracted nature of the conflict, ~he stalemate like situation, I wcr.dered how much more time was needed to achieve something concrete. He responded that he did not know but I realized that he was like most others in no gra-at hurry. He said that the Serbs were willing co suffer further to what they held dear and would never allow subjugation by anyone. Referring .to "prime minister~ ~ikelic he said that Mikelic was the only child who survived the annihilation of his family at the hands of the Croats. I wondered to myself if the choice of someone like Mikelic with such a backgroud as the head of Lhe government suggested the thinking at the hig:iest levels witi:in the Kraji~a Serbs. 7. He reiterated. that a solution should not be ir:iposed from the above. International mediators and the UN would have to realize that the desire to be free from C::oatia was a popular one. There are no lobbies, he declared. Any sol:.i.tion, hence, would ha\·e take into account this factor. He wanted things to take their own course and the internat lon?.. l com:r.uni t:y to prepa .::c <:he grour.d for negotiations. . ~ 004 L0/0o '94 19:50 5'H295 1'01ffH ... -2- . e. He wanted the tm to talk to the middling and lower ...e,rels of leadership within t.he Kraj ina structure - an allusion, per:!apa to inclusion of people like hi~ in the precess. To a que$tio:1 how much co·.J.ld Selgrade ccr.:.r ib;ite towards a solution, Macizara.: said that Milosevic still l:ad enormous i:1fluence over eve:1ts here. That is why ICF'Y was the appropriate forum for LhesE discussions, he insis~ed. 9. I asked him how the peor:lc :,f the tJNPAs woulci react t-::- a:1 arrangemen~ reached betwee~ 3elgrade ar.d Zag:::-eb. He was q~ite flustered and responded tha~ he would no:: know. :Referring ::.0 c.:he Ceasefire Agreement he said th,'it there were local problems ir: Sunja, Plaski and Benkovac areas and he thCJugr-t that the Se:::-hs felt that they had lost i~ these areas. l.O. I ques::ioned him abcut the seco~d agreement that was to be reached en practical and e~onomic matters. Ee was not hope= u l it will be si~ed soor... He said that co:iditions were :iot propitious. 11. After the discussi::m witr. Madzarac I ~eturned witr. the impression that there was net much imagination am~ngct the Serbs in the Kraj :.nas for an accc:.·d wi::h the C.z-oats. There seemed to be a blitte willingness ~o perpetua=e this state of living. ~ay be, it had ::urned qc.1ite corr.fo-::·cable now, and chat there was no great hurry to reconsider any of the decisions that were ~ake~ three years ago...... feare ci if the Kraj ina Serb minciset ·.-.,.~s getti ng a bit foss i lise1. .f. .
