HC Deb 14 July 1993 vol 228 cc554-5W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many monitors the United Kingdom has sent to Kosovo.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The United Kingdom has provided two monitors for the conference on security and co-operation in Europe's long-term missions in Kosovo, Sandjak and Vojvodina—one of whom has returned to the United Kingdom—and has offered a further three monitors. The future of the missions is, however, in doubt following Belgrade's refusal to renew the memorandum of understanding covering the missions.

Mr. Meacher

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will submit plans to the UN Security Council for lifting the siege of Sarajevo by military means through attacks on Serb artillery positions around the city; and what other plans he has to prevent the fall of Sarajevo within the next few months.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Sarajevo is one of six safe areas established under UN Security Council resolution 824 of 6 May. SCR 836 of 4 June expanded the mandate to include deterring attacks against safe areas. We are pressing for full implementation of that resolution. At present there are no further plans for military intervention in Sarajevo.
