BOSNIA: BOSNIAN GOVERNMENT TROOPS CONTINUE ADVANCE ON TESLIC

Описание: (15 Nov 1994) Natural/Sound:

Bosnian government forces are continuing their advance on Serbian-held Teslic in north- west Bosnia.

In the last ten days, the combined Moslem and Croat Bosnian army has advanced one hundred and fifty kilometres.

APTV has been with the Bosnia army troops on the front line and brought back these exclusive pictures.

For nearly ten days, the fighting hasn't let up.

But for once, its these Bosnian forces together with their Croat counterparts, who are making the advance.

They're pushing the Serbs back through the forest south of Teslic using the natural camouflage for cover.

These are the forces of Operative Group Three North, which consists of three brigades.

Most of them are refugees and are fighting with whatever they've got.

In recent days, the Serbs have been forced to abandon many of their key positions in the forest such as these trenches.

The Bosnian forces are ill-equipped and are surviving are on a diet of macaroni and stew.

But, in the face of their recent victories, they're in a cheerful mood and remain determined to capture Teslic (), a former Muslim town.

And with other Bosnian forces advancing from the north, sources expect the town to fall within the week.
