                        THE STATEMENT
                    BY THE GOVERNMENT OF
             THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA

      The  Government  of  the  Federal  Republic  of  Yugoslavia
condemns  most  strongly the massacre of  the  innocent  civilian
population  in Sarajevo. F.R. of Yugoslavia has always  condemned
such  acts,  regardless  of  which side  committed  them.  It  is
necessary  to carry out detailed investigation, find  and  punish
exemplarily the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
      This latest act of barbarism has a political background and
is a blow to peace and ongoing peace efforts.
     The F.R. of Yugoslavia expresses hope that the peace process
will  continue and that, with the assistance of the international
community, the warning parties will menage to find final peaceful
solution to the crisis in former Bosnia-Herzegovina.
     The Government of the F.R. of Yugoslavia is firmly committed
to  the  quest  for  a  solution to  the  crisis  in  the  former
Yugoslavia through political means. It is necessary to  take  all
measures  in  order to prevent the attempts to  stop  the  latest
peace  initiatives and the escalation of the conflict  in  former
Bosnia-Herzegovina  which  could have unforeseeable  consequences
for this entire region and Europe.
