The peace force, in a statement, said it moved to “deter the outbreak of violence” after receiving indica tions that forces loyal to Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic would try to take control of police stations and the media in Serb-held areas of northern Bosnia. Plavsic is locked in a power struggle with officials loyal to war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic. While NATO troops already have taken action against police loyal to Plavsic in her northern power base of Banja Luka, international offi cials strongly support her drive to isolate Karadzic. The NATO statement said that both regular police and the better- equipped special police were re ported to be carrying unauthorized long-barrel weapons. NATO said its troops — which in cluded Americans — were posi tioning themselves to prevent vio lence, were conducting reconnaissance, and were support ing U.N. police whose job it is to monitor local police units. However, they met an angry re ception. Ljuba Maratovic, director of the pro-Karadzic radio station in Brcko, said soldiers of the NATO-led peace force equipped with armored vehi cles, most of them Americans, ar rived at the main Brcko police sta tion during the night. He said in a telephone inter view that local officials and citi zens prevented them from enter- CROATIA Serb Rep. gjjr, BanjaiLuka I 1 S N l A - .

German, French leaders discus stability of european current BONN, Germany (AP) — Seeking fresh momentum toward a European currency, Germany and France pledged Thursday to work for a stable euro that will start on time in 1999. Chancellor Helmut Kohl won the commitment in talks with French premier Lionel Jospin, whose 3- month-old Socialist government has stressed reducing high unemployment over cutting spending to meet the strict fiscal criteria set to qualify for the euro. Both countries face potential budget deficits this year above 3 percent of gross domestic product, which is the limit laid down in the treaty for monetary union. But Kohl and Jospin, on his first trip to Bonn since taking office, agreed that introducing the euro “ac cording to the timetable with strict respect for the sta bility criteria” is essential for Europe’s competitiveness in the global economy, Kohl spokesman Peter Haus- mann said. “Germany and France are committed to the agree ments without reservations and will do everything to meet the conditions for introducing the euro," Haus- mann said. Jospin’s government last month announced business taxes after a government audit sk France’s budget deficit running at 3.5 percent toll cent of GDP France has conceded it still will probably noirJ the 3 percent target, but wants to start theeuroontj Paris has been irritated by calls from someGeri politicians for delaying the euro if theFrenchcJ make it. Most forecasts say Germany will not makethe3:| cent limit either, but Kohl insists it will. He fears the euro project will collapse if it does start on time. But he also is under pressurefronii Christian Social Union, an arch-conservativeBavij party in his government, not to bend therulesfori it would lead to a weaker, inflation-prone currenql The two leaders also discussed the Europeanaeron tics industry, including the Airbus jetlinerconsordum The Financial Times reported Thursday thatFa had dropped objections against turning Airbusii! profit-making company that could compete will Seattle-based Boeing Co.
