Bosnia - Croats and muslims locked out of Doboj

Описание: (13 Sep 1996) T/I 10:00:30

IFOR soldiers have erected barbed wire fences along the route to polling stations outside the divided town of Doboj to prevent tens of thousands of expelled Muslims and Croats from entering the town to visit their old homes, now occupied by Serbs. The displaced voters will be taken by bus to the polling stations and not given the opportunity to enter Doboj.
American Quick Reaction Forces (QRF) have begun rehearsing security procedures for Saturday (14/9) and can call on Danish and other Nordic Battalion soldiers for assistance if necessary.
