the Secretary-General’s letter of 25 June 1995 to the President of the Security
Council (S/1995/510), to maintain the effective closure of the international
border between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and

noting with satisfaction that the cooperation of the Mission of the

Herzegovina with respect to all goods except foodstuffs, medical supplies and
clothing for essential humanitarian needs,

necessary resources being made available so as to strengthen the ICFY Mission’s
capacity to carry out its tasks,

     Noting with satisfaction that the Committee established pursuant to
resolution 724 (1991) of 15 December 1991 has adopted streamlined procedures for
