Contents Summary

This broadcast features some brief information about the UN resolution concerning Safe Havens, followed by a report from Srebrenica, one of six cities designated as a Safe Haven in Bosnia. The harsh living conditions of Muslim refugees in this town are shown, including problems caused by overpopulation, due to an influx of refugees from the surrounding areas. The report discusses how humanitarian aid is the main source of food, cigarettes have become currency, and prostitution is increasing. At the time of the report, the Serbs were within a few hundred yards of the demilitarized zone. Statements by a UNHCR official and a Bosnian Serb Army commander, Cvijetin Vuksic, are included.
