I - The Michigan Daily - Monday, September 23, 1991 - Page 7 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. - - - - - -- - - - --I AP Photo 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.

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."
