  1. Turning to The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, I wish to express my country's appreciation for the important function of political stabilization that UNPROFOR has thus far carried out in that country, a function recognized in the Secretary-General's report and reflected in the third draft resolution (S/1995/244). This is a first example of the preventive deployment of United Nations forces, which has helped to prevent the spillover of the conflict to other areas in former Yugoslavia, and to defuse the tensions existing in that multi-ethnic and multi- cultural society.

  2. One month before the expiration of these agreements, we are very concerned by the new escalation of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina and by its potentially negative effects on the peace process. Both the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serb authorities must exercise the maximum restraint and must realize once and for all that there can be no military solution to the conflict, only a comprehensive political solution such as will restore the peaceful coexistence of the various ethnic, cultural and religious components that have lived together in Bosnia and Herzegovina for centuries. We are sincerely convinced that the presence of UNPROFOR in that country can ultimately contribute to achieving that goal.

  3. As for Bosnia and Herzegovina, I wish to emphasize the importance of the appeal to the Bosnian parties contained in paragraph 7 of draft resolution S/1995/243, to fully implement their agreements of December 1994 on a cease-fire and on a complete cessation of hostilities, agreements which the Council hopes will be extended past 30 April in order to create conditions favourable to the negotiation of an overall peaceful settlement on the basis of the acceptance of the Contact Group's peace plan as a starting point. We must remember that the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina has already accepted this peace plan, while the Bosnian Serb party has not.

  4. Paragraph 5 of draft resolution S/1995/242 duly states that UNCRO shall be an interim arrangement to create the conditions that will facilitate a comprehensive negotiated settlement consistent with the territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia and with the security and rights of all its communities. Thus, it is not and cannot be seen as an instrument that would freeze and perpetuate a de facto situation which we consider unacceptable.

  5. The transition period between the expiration of UNPROFOR's mandate today and the effective deployment of the new United Nations force in Croatia will be quite delicate. Paragraph 4 of draft resolution S/1995/243 is very important because, on a basis of the willingness shown by the Croatian Government for UNPROFOR to do so, it would decide that UNPROFOR shall continue to perform its functions during the interim period. It must be stressed that UNCRO and the other two peace-keeping operations in the former Yugoslavia cannot be an end in themselves or a final solution.

  6. It is essential that the Security Council approve the general architecture of the mandate today, that is, before the expiration of the mandate of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), although the new mandate cannot become operative until the end of the consultations currently under way between Mr. Stoltenberg, the Government of the Republic of Croatia, and the local Serbian authorities. These consultations must proceed quickly and constructively to take advantage of the momentum that will be created by today's adoption of the outlines of the mandate. For this reason, paragraph 4 of draft resolution S/1995/242 indicates the not-too-distant date of 21 April, by when the Secretary-General is to have reported to the Council on the results of the consultations, for its approval.

  7. Thus, I wish to emphasize the importance of the reference in operative paragraph 1 of all three draft resolutions to the arrangements set out in paragraph 84 of the Secretary-General's report, which respond to this need in a manner that we find fully satisfactory. Turning to the United Nations Confidence Restoration Operation in Croatia (UNCRO), paragraph 3 of draft resolution S/1995/242 gives the outlines of its mandate, which is based on the recent agreement between the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the United States, and on the statement issued in Copenhagen by President Tudjman.

  8. While confirming the vital importance of the continued presence of United Nations forces in the former Yugoslavia, the draft resolutions would modify the general architecture of that presence in conformity with the specific requests by the Governments of Croatia and of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia that the forces deployed in those two countries should be given autonomous profiles, and with the consequent recommendations contained in paragraph 84 of the Secretary-General's report (S/1995/222 and Corr.1). While fully understanding the political reasons at the origin of the requests of the countries concerned, Italy has always believed in the need to maintain unity of political direction and military command in the field for the three separate but interlinked forces.

  9. At the outset, Sir, allow me, through you, to congratulate Ambassador Li Zhaoxing on the wise and skilful way in which he has guided the work of the Council during the month of March. Our appreciation and thanks go also to his predecessor, Ambassador Legwaila. Italy welcomes the consideration today of the three draft resolutions that it helped to draft and that it joins in sponsoring.
