AKASHI REASSURES KARADZIC OF UN'S GOOD INTENTIONS
The UN's special envoy to the former Yugoslavia, Yasushi Akashi, has written Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, the International Herald Tribune reported on 22 June. Akashi reassured Karadzic that he feels that "all sides" have caused problems for UNPROFOR. He did not mention the recent hostage crisis. Above all, the envoy said that the projected Rapid Reaction Force will not take sides, will not act differently from UNPROFOR, and will not engage in peacemaking such as blasting open corridors to enable relief convoys to get through. A UN spokesman said that "the Serbs were worried and Mr. Akashi felt it appropriate to calm their fears."
