Yugoslav cease-fire remains
without Serb-Croat actions
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)
- The federal defense minister
and president of Croatia declared
a cease-fire yesterday in the
bloody fighting between the army
and forces of the breakaway re-
public.
The agreement was based on
Croatia's offer Saturday to ease a
blockade of military barracks if
federal forces halted their current
offensive, the largest of the con-
flict, a spokesperson for the Croa-
tian President Franjo Tudjman
said.
Later, Tudjman read a statement
on Croatian TV ordering a lifting
of the week-old embargo on wa-
ter, food, electricity and medicine
to army barracks in the republic.
It was not immediately clear,
however, whether the cease-fire
could halt the fighting that has
left 500 dead in the three months
since Croatia declared indepen-
dence on June 25.
Numerous cease-fires have been
cobbled together, mostly with
European Community help, to end
the war between Croats, an ethnic
Serb minority and - increasingly
- the army. All so far have
failed.
The last cease-fire was signed
Sept. 17 by rivals Serbia and Croa-
tia, Defense Minister Veljko
Kadijevic, and Lord Carrington of
Britain, the EC's mediator.
Kadijevic issued a statement
yesterday saying that the two
sides had agreed to order an
"absolute cease-fire" at 3 p.m. (9
a.m. EDT).
Hesaid in the statement that he
was ordering all federal forces
"to cease all attacks and move-
ments" at that hour. The state-
ment was published by the Yu-
goslav news agency Tanjug.
Vesna Skare, a spokesperson for
Tudjman, said the Croatian leader
and Kadijevic reached a verbal
agreement on the cease-fire Sun-
day morning, apparently by tele-
phone.
Even as the deadline approached
for the cease-fire to take effect,
fighting raged anew. Few details
were available.
Skirmishes continued around
the strategic town of Vukovar,
and fighting resumed in Sibenik
on the Adriatic coast, Belgrade
radio said. Three federal soldiers
died and a dozen were injured in a
botched air attack by their own
side near Vinkovci, in the Slavonia
region, Tanjug said.
The Serb-led army has increas-
ingly intervened to help Croatia's
Serb minority.

Serbian territorial soldiers take positions in the village of Sarvas, some 120 miles northwest of Belgrade in
Croatia, during an anti-sniper sweeping action last Tuesday. Serbian territorial soldiers reportedly took control
of the Slavonian village from Croatian security forces after bloody fighting in which at least five people were
killed and dozens were injured on both sides.
Detroit economic leaders plan
summit' to revitalize the city
GET CAUGHT UP IN THE WU S H[
DETROIT (AP) - The
metropolitan area's top business,
governmental, religious and com-
munity leaders should hold an
"economic peace summit," a busi-
nessperson close to Mayor Coleman
Young said.
Don Barden, chairperson of
Barden Cablevision, said it is time
for leaders in all sectors and all
parts of the Detroit area to begin
working closer together on some of
its serious economic problems.
Those problems include hard-
core unemployment in the inner
city, the lack of public transporta-
tion to get people to where the jobs
are, crime and the Detroit area's
poor public image, he said.
"I'm talking about dealing with
he total big picture... by calling on
a cross-section of authorities and re-
sources," Barden said at a panel dis-
cussion last week hosted by The
Detroit News.
The newspaper said in Sunday's
editions that it called together six
business leaders to discuss ways of
improving Detroit's business cli-
mate.
Barden is a close associate of
*Young and is married to city
Finance Director Bella Marshall.
His company holds the cable TV
franchise for the city.
He said a key goal of his pro-
posed "economic peace summit"
would be to bring about closer co-
operation between the city and sub-
urbs over their common problems.
"The atmosphere of fear and fin-
ger-pointing has become intolera-
ble," he said. "There is a need to heal
some of the wounds that have oc-
curred in this community."
'We've got to take our
city back... And 1 think
our mayor needs to
bury the hatchet'
- Naveen Ahuja
Naveen Ahuja, managing director
of the downtown Westin Hotel,
said fear of crime is hurting his
business. A large business group re-
cently changed a dinner meeting into
a luncheon because its members
were afraid to be downtown after
dark, he said.
"If that's not a crisis, I don't
know what is. We've got to take our
city back," Ahuja said. "We need to
get someone like (Chrysler Corp..
Chairman) Lee Iacocca or someone
who's going to take charge of it,
whether it's (developer Alfred)
Taubman, whoever it is.
"And I think our mayor... needs
to bury the hatchet."
Young and suburban leaders fre-
quently are at odds over a range of
issues, from expansion of Detroit
City Airport to transportation to
funding for public services.
Barden said Detroit's crime
problems are blown out of propor-
tion by the news media, and he
called for more balance between
good and bad news.
Detroit police have on file hun-
dreds of reports of carjacking in the
city in the last few months.
Motorists say they're afraid of be-
ing hauled out of their cars at gun-
point.
Barden urged the media to report
on crime but "put it in the proper
perspective relative to all the other
things that are happening in the
community."
More than image-polishing is
needed to fix what ails Detroit, said
Sheila Rogers-Starghill, executive
director of the Michigan Minority
Business Development Council.
"We can do all the changing of
our image that we want. (But) we
have a whole city of people that are
unemployed, unable toeat," she
said. "We've got to do something...
to save those people."
