1. “The role of UNPROFOR is no less important in the humanitarian sphere, which has become a significant factor in improving the living conditions of the population. _ Russia attaches particular importance to the continued efforts of the countries of the Contact Group to develop their cooperation with the Security Council on the basis of the experience gained over recent months in the Bosnian negotiations. We consider it important to increase pressure on ail parties, using the full range of positive and negative incentives in order to promote a comprehensive peace settlement. Such a settlement, as we see it, should be based on a territorial arrangement and on constitutional principles placing all parties on an equal footing.”

2. “The parties to the conflict themselves should, at the same time, fully cooperate with the United Nations Force in the performance of its mandate, should commit no provocative or hostile acts against United Nations personnel, and should respect their neutral status. In this context, we should like particularly to emphasize that the effectiveness of UNPROFOR's efforts depends to a large extent on the existence of good will on the part of the parties to the conflict. This is true of virtually every aspect of the Force's activity, including its role in the "safe areas" in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With respect to Croatia, it is quite clear to us that the unimpeded fulfillment by the United Nations Force of its mandate in the Protected Areas is the most important prerequisite of the fullest possible implementation of the Vance plan.”

3. “The Russian Federation supported the resolution just adopted in the belief that the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) is playing an extremely important role in efforts to settle the conflicts in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. It cannot be denied that, without the presence of the Force, the situation there would be incomparably worse from both the political and the humanitarian viewpoints. ° At the political level, the need to continue the operation is dictated first and foremost by the key task of promoting a peaceful settlement to the crisis. Naturally, at the same time everything possible must be done to ensure that the United Nations Force does not become a party to the conflict or a hostage to those forces participating in it.”
