BOSNIA: TRAVNIK: ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST MUSLIM REFUGEE

Описание: (18 Aug 1995) Natural Sound

The first of what is expected to be a flood of Muslim refugees expelled from northern Bosnia by Serbs arrived Thursday in the central Bosnian town of Travnik.

Their arrival comes as U.S. diplomats searching for peace in former
Yugoslavia plan more talks with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.

Another bus ride - another town.

These refugees - mostly elderly, women and children are part of what is expected to be a flood of incoming Muslims into Travnik - in Central Bosnia.

They're the second wave of expulsions from the Bosnian Serb town of Banja Luka, following a mass exodus of Bosnian Croats who fled north to Croatia.

For some of the group of around 50 it's a reunion.

For others it's a safe haven, or at least a place where they can be assured of a bed and blankets - for tonight.

Elsewhere in Bosnia, the UN reports that at least 45-hundred people, mostly Croats but some Muslims, were deported northwards from Banja Luka this week into Croatia.
