	NATO/SFOR: UN Secretary General S/1996/1075 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The ability of UNMOP to fulfil its mission is further restricted by the random denial of entry into some Croatian positions and by the continued presence of a minefield blocking a road.
		The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has indicated that it wants UNMOP to remain until a settlement is agreed, while Croatia is of the view that respect for the security regime established during the period of United Nations monitoring does not necessarily require the continued presence of United Nations monitors.
		UNMOP is seeking a reduction in military and police deployment in the area and the elimination of existing violations.

		UNMOP estimates that the increase amounts to a doubling of the strength of the special police in those areas.
		In February 1997, a three-day exercise by the Yugoslav navy outside the UNMOP area of responsibility prompted a strong reaction by Croatia, which partly restricted the movement of United Nations military observers on coastal roads inside the demilitarized zone for the duration of the exercise.
		In Podgorica, President Momir Bulatovic stated that UNMOP had attempted, with its proposed procedures for improvement of safety and security in the area, to reduce the dimensions of the so-called "Blue Zone", which is part of the demilitarized zone.

	UNMOP (United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka)
		In his report to the Security Council on 1 July 1997, the Secretary-General believed that the presence of UNMOP continued to be essential to maintain conditions that were conductive to a negotiated settlement of the dispute.
		UNMOP's area of responsibility (AOR) is a demilitarized zone (DMZ) which stretches from the tip of the Prevlaka peninsula up to the tripartite border between Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
		UNMOP is authorized to patrol, monitor and report on all military or police activities in the demilitarized zone, and should have complete freedom of movement to do so.

	NZ Army - ARMY OVERSEAS
		UNMOP's mission is to take over from previous UN missions in the area the task of monitoring the disputed Prevlaka peninsula and neighbouring areas in Croatia and Yugoslavia.
		UNMOP consists of 27 military observers, supported by a total of 7 civilian staff, and serving under a Chief Military Observer, who reports directly to UN headquarters in New York.
		UNMOP headquarters is located at Cavtat, with teamsites on the Ostra (Prevlaka) peninsula and at Herceg Novi in the Yugoslavian province of Montenegro (which borders Croatia in the area), and at Gruda in Croatia.

	Security Council Authorizes Final Extension of Prevlaka Peninsula Mission; Withdrawal Will Be Completed by End of Year
		According to the report, UNMOP continued to monitor the demilitarization of the Prevlaka peninsula and the neighbouring areas in Croatia and Yugoslavia.
		The situation in the demilitarized and United Nations-controlled zones remained stable and calm, although, in continuing violation of the security regime in the United Nations-controlled zone, nine Croatian police and two Montenegrin Border Police officers were usually stationed at one position in the zone.
		The UNMOP was established in January 1996 to monitor the demilitarization of the Prevlaka peninsula, a strategic area disputed by Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

		We continue to view this dispute as a security, rather than a territorial question, and maintain that resolution of this issue must be consistent with the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Croatia within its internationally recognized borders, which the USG views as the inter-republic borders of the former Yugoslavia.
		UNMOP promoted normalization of relations by working with Croatia and Montenegro to manage the newly opened crossings at Debeli Brijeg and Konfin.
		Likewise, UNMOP helped defuse a potentially dangerous situation that resulted from the Yugoslav army's establishment, in violation of the FRY's commitment to demilitarize the area, of a fortified checkpoint in the yellow zone.

	NATO/SFOR: UN Secretary General S/1997/1019 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		As regards the freedom of movement of United Nations military observers elsewhere in the UNMOP area of responsibility, Croatia continues to deny them routine access to positions in the northern portion of the demilitarized zone and to several positions in the southern portion.
		These steps are among the practical options that were proposed by UNMOP in May 1996, as part of the procedures to reduce tension and improve safety and security in the area (see S/1996/502, para.
		UNMOP plays an essential role in maintaining conditions conducive to negotiations, and recent developments at other parts of the border between Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia give me grounds for hope that the two countries can solve the disputed issue of Prevlaka through mutual negotiations.

	S/1999/16
		UNMOP maintains the interpretation of the limits of the United Nations-designated zones as defined in my reports to the Security Council since 1992, regardless of unilateral decisions by one party or the other not to respect the United Nations-mandated security regime.
		In the light of UNMOP's pivotal role in ensuring the maintenance of an atmosphere in which serious negotiations can proceed and given the current state of negotiations between the parties, I recommend a further six-month extension of the UNMOP mandate until 15 July 1999, without change to its current concept of operations.
		In the event that the parties are unable to resolve their dispute or, at the very least, to make substantial progress during the next six months, the Security Council may, at that time, wish to consider alternative mechanisms, such as international mediation or arbitration, in the search for a solution to the dispute.

		UNMOP was established in February 1996 to take over from the United Nations Confidence Restoration Operation (UNCRO) the task of monitoring the demilitarization of the Prevlaka peninsula, a strategic area disputed by Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
		Following the successful completion of its mandate, the Mission was terminated on 15 December 2002.
		"Throughout a turbulent decade in the Balkans, UNMOP contributed to insulating Prevlaka from the surrounding conflicts and tensions and ensured that hostilities nearby did not create instability on the peninsula.

	Council Extends Mandate of UN Mission of Observers in Prevlaka Until 15 October 2002
		He recommends the extension of UNMOP’s mandate until 15 October in order to maintain conditions propitious to a successful conclusion of those efforts by the parties to agree on a transitional border-crossing regime that would allow the Mission to withdraw.
		Although UNMOP, comprising 27 United Nations military observers, is an independent mission, it draws its administrative and budgetary support from the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH)].
		Requirements for ongoing support to UNMOP will be constantly reviewed in the context of the liquidation of UNMIBH, scheduled to commence on 1 January 2003.

	S/1998/578
		UNMOP assesses that the Yugoslav Army presence consists of approximately 130 to 150 personnel, but it is unable to ascertain the exact strength and armament of the troops because of restrictions of movement imposed by the Yugoslav authorities in the northern part of the demilitarized zone.
		UNMOP has avoided any steps that would prejudge the outcome of bilateral political negotiations on the Prevlaka dispute, in accordance with the commitment by both parties in the Agreement on Normalization of Relations to respect the existing security regime established through United Nations monitoring until mutual agreement on Prevlaka is reached.
		Thus, UNMOP has been a stabilizing factor in the Prevlaka area and I appeal to both parties to provide the Mission with their full cooperation in the implementation of its mandate.

		The United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka, UNMOP, is the smallest of DPKO's sixteen missions and the only one to have suffered no casualties.
		UNMOP was cheap, after all, and nobody was complaining about it.
		Now, in the spirit of downsizing and perhaps of re-evaluation after the September 11 attacks, UNMOP is correctly - if belatedly - judged as surplus to requirements.

Amorim, as specified in the note by the President dated 30 January (S/1999/100).
		A meeting with UNMOP troop contributors was held on 12 January.
		Man y delegations supported the idea contained in the report of the Secretary-General on UNMOP (S/1999/16) that other alternatives, such as mediation or arbitration, should be considered after a certain period of time.

	Yugoslavia, Croatia near accord on Prevlaka - UN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The U.N. Mission of Observers in Prevlaka, known as UNMOP, has been in the area since 1992 and is currently the world´s smallest peacekeeping mission, with just 27 soldiers.
		Both countries have agreed their dispute is a security matter rather than a fight over territory, although their shared border is at the heart of the dispute.
		Annan said the negotiations to date had convinced him that UNMOP would soon no longer be needed, as both sides were determined to end the dispute and "share a common approach on key aspects" of an agreement.

		Annan said the situation in the area was stable and peaceful, and that an extension of the mandate would secure it continuing thus, providing a stable climate for a political agreement between Yugoslavia and Croatia.
		He said he hoped their agreement would be successful and said UNMOP members must be allowed freedom of movement in the demilitarized zone.
		This warning was intended for Croatia, as Annan said in the report that Croatia was continuing the practice of demanding written information from UNMOP members about their planned movements in the north part of the zone.

		When it met this morning, the Council had before it Secretary-General Kofi Annan's latest report on Prevlaka, released last week, in which he stresses that UNMOP's continued presence is necessary for the peninsula's stability, which in turn is a requirement for progress towards a political settlement.
		UNMOP is an independent mission, but for administrative and budgetary purposes it is treated as part of the UN Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH).

	Letter to H.E. Celso. L.N. Amorim
		Now that it has, on the eve of Security Council deliberations concerning the UNMOP mandate, it is evident that its position reflects a disrespect for the territorial integrity and international borders of the Republic of Croatia and Security Council resolution 1183 (1998), which explicitly reconfirms them.
		Following six Security Council resolutions dealing exclusively with Prevlaka and six extensions of the UNMOP mandate, the record suggests that the continuation of the UNMOP mandate without decisive impetus from the Security Council shall be pointless.
		By modifying the mandate of the UNMOP -- by reducing the number of observers and indicating an impending end to the mandate, and thereby releasing UN resources to areas of more pressing concern -- the Security Council should press the FRY to engage in constructive negotiations.

	United Nations Daily Highlights, 98-01-05
		In his latest report on UNMOP, the Secretary-General says that the situation in the mission's area of responsibility has remained stable since the establishment of the mission on 1 February 1996.
		However, the Secretary- General adds, substantive negotiations have not started and, in discussions with UNMOP, Croatian and Yugoslav officials have held out no prospect for an end to the long-term violations in the United Nations controlled zone.
		These divergent interpretations of the dispute and the violations of the demilitarization regime are "a constant irritant" which should be removed in the relations between UNMOP and the local authorities, the Secretary- General says in his report.

	UN Chronicle: Former Yugoslavia - UN missions
		The Security Council on 15 July authorized the United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP) to continue monitoring the demilitarization of the Prevlaka peninsula until 15 January 1999, and reiterated its call on the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) to cease all violations of the demilitarization regime there.
		In that regard, the Council noted the Secretary-General's positive assessment of recent developments, including the Croatian initiative for a final resolution of the disputed issue of Prevlaka and the proposal from the FRY on a permanent settlement of the issue.
		The Secretary-General on 26 June had reported that both parties continued to indicate, in their contacts with UNMOP, that they retained divergent interpretations of the Prevlaka dispute: for Croatia, it was a security issue, whereas the FRY regarded it as a territorial issue.

	Croatia, Yugoslavia Reach Deal On U.N.- Monitored Peninsula
		Annan said UNMOP observers can leave Sunday with the "full confidence that their mission has been successfully accomplished," adding that UNMOP has "demonstrated that even a small United Nations presence, properly conceived and executed, can make a positive difference" (U.N. release, Dec. 10).
		According to Picula, who wished UNMOP members a safe trip home, the agreement is a "clear message" to the international community and "an invitation to tourists to visit this region" (Hina News Line, Dec. 10).
		The peninsula, which is a few miles long and extends into the Adriatic Sea, is of strategic importance in controlling entry to the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro's major deep seaport and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

		The area of responsibility of UNMOP consists of two United Nations- designated zones: a demilitarized zone and a United Nations-controlled zone.
		Since the submission of my report of 30 December 1997 (S/1997/1019), the situation in the UNMOP area of responsibility has remained stable, despite the continuation of some long-standing violations of the demilitarization regime, including restrictions of movement for the United Nations military observers and the presence of military elements.
		However, there are also no signs that both parties will cease the continuing violations of the demilitarization regime in the two United Nations- designated zones.

	Letter to H.E.Mr.Kofi Anna Secretary General
		Additionally, the legacy of the Kosovo crisis upon the federal authorities, when the international community led by NATO intervened in order to halt ethnic cleansing, has not encouraged the scheduling of formal bilateral meetings.
		Given the record of FRY in negotiations, Croatia, as a host country, maintains its right - as a last resort- to unilaterally, in full compliance with its rights and duties under international law, terminate its consent to the mandate of UNMOP.
		In this respect, I should like to emphasize that the Republic of Croatia is fully committed to its obligation under Article 4 of the Agreement on Normalization of Relations (A/51/351; S/1996/744).
