§ Sir Nicholas BonsorTo ask the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on his recent visit to Bosnia.
§ The Prime MinisterI visited central Bosnia and Sarajevo on 18 March. In central Bosnia I met British and other United Nations soldiers and civilian aid experts. I was impressed, as always, by their courage and professional dedication. UNPROFOR's achievements on the ground have helped to transform the situation in Bosnia and the prospects for a settlement.
In Sarajevo I met Bosnian Vice-President Ganic and General Rose. I announced a further £12 million of United 612W Kingdom aid for Bosnia: £5 million to help rebuild Sarajevo, and £7 million to support the work of UN agencies throughout Bosnia. With the £2 million announced by my right hon. and noble Friend, Baroness Chalker, to support the Tuzla airlift, this brings total United Kingdom humanitarian aid to former Yugoslavia to £171.5 million.
