expel Muslims from towns and villages in rtosnia-Herzegovina appears to have been set off by the United Nations' proposal to divide the country into semi-autonomous provinces Hundreds of Muslim refugees continue to stream out of Cerska Kamenfca and other besieged villages above the Drina River town of Zvornik in eastern Bosnia said an official from the United Nations High CoimnissioBur for Refugees The official arrived Bel-Bade on Saturday night from the north-eastern Bosnian town of Tuzla where about 5000 Muslims driven from villages have taken shelter in schools and sports centres over the past five days There is no indication mat the flow is going to stop anytime soon" the official said Over the past two weeks Serbian gunmen have also expelled afi 4000 Muslims from the southern Bosnian town of Trebinje the fighting around Zvornik Serbian militiamen are dearly trying to gain control of a key road Unking the town with Serbian-held areas around Sarajevo' the Bosnian capital But the UN peace plan would place the Zvornik area in a province that mediators say would be dominated by Muslims The Muslim-led Government of Bosnia which has baulked at accepting the 10 provinces drafted by UN and European Community mediators attributed the new wave of Serbian "ethnic cleansing" to die proposed map' The European Community and United Nations proposal and map stimulated leiiiUmal Mr Kemal Muftic a spokesman for Bosnia's President Mr Atija Izetbegovk The map is an excuse to carry out attacks" It now appears that Muslims would not dominate the province encompassing" Zvornik -unless most of the Serbian gains there were reversed and Muslims were allowed to return to their homes ish Opposition Leader Mr John Smith has sketched out his ideas to revamp a Labour Party demoralised by four successive election defeats distancing it fur-ther from its with little food and under heavy artillery bombardment the relief official said Many of diem had taken refuge in those villages in the first round of Serbian "ethnic drammi" in the Zvornik area earner tins year The Bosnian Government and Western diplomats also link recent fighting between Muslims and Croats to the unveiling of the UN proposal last month fltuhftsi frrofec out tfais flti between once-allied Croatian and Muslim forces around the Bosnian towns of Gorqp Vakuf and Travnik after the publication of thepeace plan which would give Croats control of die region Two weeks ago UN mediators succeeded in negotiating a local truce between the Croatian and Muslim militias but Sarajevo radio reported today that Croatian fighters had driven Muslims from their homes around the nearby town of Novi Travnik over the past several days The proposed nun triggered idle violence" a Western (ijplo-mat said here today The current round of ethnic deans-hub a natural consequence of the negotiations which are not giving territory and power simply to an ethnic group but to one of three nationalist parties The Serbs clearly expect to gain a cease-fire and the deployment of United Nations peacekeeping forces on tiut hne of engagement in order to hold their gains just as they effectively got in Croatia" the diplomat said "This will only put us on a toad leading towards more violence" Mr Smith liawBmuuuBum BffissnBWuauBumF aa dTaw -aw Btv mt 'am jtuT gLP Jss" srr
