U.N. fires Russian officer
Man accused of smuggling arms to Croatian Serbs
The Associated Press
ZAGREB, Croatia — In a further blow to U.N. credibility in Croatia, the United Nations yesterday fired a Russian commander it said was aiding rebel Serbs in eastern Croatia. It was unclear if the commander would leave.
Maj. Gen. Alexander Perelyakin, commander of a U.N.-controlled area known as Sector East, was dismissed, said U.N. spokesman Michael Williams.
Williams said the United Nations asked Moscow to remove its officer from the U.N.-mission area the same day. The deputy U.N. commander in the area, a Belgian, was given temporary command of the sector.
But Col. Sergei Volgin, a spokesman in Moscow for the Defense Ministry, said Perelyakin
remained Sector East commander and would only be changed in accordance with a plan. He refused to elaborate or comment on the accusations against Perelyalkin.
Williams declined to discuss the possibility that Perelyakin would refuse to give up his command and claim support from Moscow. The Russian Foreign Ministry refused comment.
Williams said Perelyakin was dismissed for lack of leadership, not following orders and failure to improve upon his shortcomings once they were brought to his attention.
But Williams also acknowledged that two of the main reasons for Perelyakin's dismissal were that soldiers and weapons were crossing from Serb-held areas of Yugoslavia into Serb-held Croatia, and because of smuggling and corruption in his sector.
The episode, which embarrassed U.N. officials, highlighted the increasing chaos facing peacekeepers as the United Nations adopts new rules of operation in Croatia. President Fred Tudiman in January ordered the 12,000 peacekeepers in Croatia to leave after their March 31 mandate expired. He later backed down under international pressure, but only on condition that the U.N. force be halved and peacekeepers stationed on borders separating Serbs in Croatia from those in neighboring Bosnia and Yugoslavia.
Tudjman cited the cross-border Serb traffic as precisely the kind of activity the new U.N. mission would have to hail.
Russia's nearly 1,400 peacekeepers in Croatia and Bosnia frequently have been accused of black-marketteering and of favoring the Serbs. Russians and Serbs share a Slavic, Orthodox Christian heritage and traditionally have been political allies.
In 1993, the Russian Sector East commander, Col. Victor Loginov, remained in the area after his tour of duty was up and formed a trading company with a notorious Serbian fighter who was suspected of war crimes.

"It would be totally unacceptable if Gen. Perelyakin would engage in such escapades" Williams said.
