	CNN - A 'tragic' takeover goes peacefully - Feb. 23, 1996
		Making Sarajevo whole again is a key provision of the Bosnian peace agreement, and Vogosca was the first of the capital's five Serb districts to be handed over to the Muslim-Croat Federation that is to govern half of Bosnia.
		There was a ripple of applause as one federation police officer showed his distaste for his departed predecessors by throwing a Serb flag which had hung outside the police station into the snow.
		Most of Vogosca's residents fled for other Serb-held land this week, taking along everything they could carry, from pieces of their houses to dug-up corpses of loved ones.

	First takeover in Sarajevo a rocky one: 2/24/96
		VOGOSCA, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- The Serb mayor's office was trashed, a Bosnian flag was hoisted over municipal offices, and most federal police patrolling this deserted Sarajevo district yesterday wore Bosnian Muslim insignia.
		It was not the smooth, peaceful transfer of power international monitors had hoped for as Vogosca became the first of the five Serb sectors in divided Sarajevo to come under the control of Bosnia's Muslim-Croat federation.
		Vogosca looked like a ghost town when the Muslim and Croat police entered around 7 a.m., most of its 24,000 residents having fled rather than submit to enemy rule.

	1996/03/26 21:17 REINTEGRATION OF SARAJEVO
		In the process of peaceful reintegration, large parts of municipalities of Vogosca, Ilijas, Hadzici and Ilidza have been returned to the city, as well as parts of other city communities which were taken possession of by the Bosnian Serbs in April 1992, who wished to tighten the circle around the capital of Bosnia & Herzegovina.
		In a suburb of Vogosca, in the village of Josanica, a 68-old Serb decided to stay and wait for the federal authorities and his son who fought in the Army of RB&H from the first day.
		Vogosca is the first municipality reintegrated into the capital of B&H and, unfortunately, just the first in which during the process of reintegration, ugly things happened and not just nice ones.

		We help to calm people with our presence, as you know we are not trained as police nor are we trained in police matters, we depend upon the local civil police to perform that function and again we are working very closely with IPTF and Police Commissioner Fitzgerald as he aggressively implements his plan.
		But again, also if we find some vulnerable people in the Vogosca area, which is quite mountainous as you know, and they will be desperate to leave, and they are handicapped to get organised and they are terrified in the same time, then we will have no choice but to help them.
		We are also dealing with the local authorities in the area and specifically with the number of local journalists using the local media to try to alleviate the fear of these people and to try to counter the extremely unhelpful and obnoxious propaganda coming from Pale.

		Q: Kris, it has been your position and the position of other humanitarian agencies during this conflict, that to help people fleeing from an area where another ethnic group's moving in, would only be to contribute to ethnic cleansing of area.
		But considering how paranoid these people are, and how afraid they are, even what may be a harmless house call by the federal police may already have sort of tipped the balance.
		On the strength of those promises printed certain leaflets and gave them to the Serbs in Vogosca, telling them "you will not be stopped, you will not checked and the federal police will not come to your homes." And all these three things have happened.
