HC Deb 04 March 1994 vol 238 cc28-9W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the progress made towards fulfilment of the NATO ultimatum on Sarajevo.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Muslim and Bosnian-Serb forces have begun to hand over heavy equipment or withdraw it outside Sarajevo exclusion zone. The ceasefire continues to hold. UNPROFOR continues to monitor compliance.

Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to urge that United Nations and NATO policy towards the relief of Sarajevo is confined to that city and will not involve military action in the rest of Bosnian-Serb-controlled Bosnia-Herzegovina or against Serbia itself.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The UN-NATO decision relates specifically to a 20 km radius around Sarajevo, excluding a 2 km zone around Pale.
