ame time danger of war persists in Croatia. Violations of basic human rights continue unabated and the policy and practice of ethnic cleansing is being pursued unhindered. All hostilities must stop immediately. Efforts of the international community to stop the war must be continued in order that a durable, fair and just political solution could urgently be found along the principles agreed by all parties at the ICFY. The Ministers reaffirmed their commitment to a comprehensive solution of all issues dealt with by the ICFY. The Ministers welcomed the resumption of the peace talks in Geneva, which resulted from presentation of an Action Plan by the European Union. They urged the parties to take advantage of the initiative represented by the European Union Action Plan to reach a political solution to the conflict. The Ministers reconfirmed their support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina and of all countries in the region, and refuse to recognize any territorial acquisition by force. They reaffirmed their earlier decisions which have yet to be implemented, especially, in the light of the onslaught of winter conditions, those concerning the need to reopen airports and establish humanitarian corridors and safe areas. The current situation in UNPA zones jeopardizes the territorial integrity of Croatia. These territories should be peacefully reintegrated into the political and legal system of Croatia. Tension and armed incidents continue there, threatening the renewal of hostilities. An agreed modus vivendi in UNPA zones should be achieved. Mutual recognition of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and Croatia would be an essential element for stability in their relations and in the region as a whole. Those responsible for brutal violations of human rights must be h be linked to any other question, with due regard to existing agreements. They called on the parties concerned to facilitate the work of the CSCE Mission by allowing it to follow closely the negotiations, to participate in the meetings of the Joint Control Commission and to move freely in the security zone. The Ministers expressed their own full support for the achievement of these objectives. 3.3 The Ministers agreed that long-term peace and stability in Moldova also required the development of democratic structures and processes and the implementation of commitments to human rights for the whole of Moldova. They therefore welcomed the decision of the government to hold elections for a new parliament and its intention to draft a new constitution. They also instructed the CSCE Mission to continue to promote the full respect for human rights and the rule of law, including in individual cases such as the trial of the so called "Ilascu group". The Ministers requested the ODIHR to continue and expand its co-operation with the Government of Moldova on legal and human rights issues and to prepare for a central role in monitoring the forthcoming electoral process in all parts of the Republic of Moldova. 4. Tajikistan 4.1 The Ministers reiterated their concern over the situation in Tajikistan. They expressed their determination to help stabilize the situation within Tajikistan in close co-operation with the United Nations and to create favourable conditions for progress towards democracy. They noted collective efforts in this regard by a group of member countries in the CIS. 4.2 The Ministers decided to establish a CSCE Mission to Tajikistan. The Mission will maintain contact with and facilitate dialogue and confidence-building between regionalist and political forces in the country; actively promote respect for human rights; promote and monitor the adherence to CSCE norms and principles; promote ways and means for the CSCE to assist in the development of legal and democratic political institutions and processes; keep the CSCE informed about further developments. 4.3 The CSCE Mission will initially be composed of four persons. It will co-operate and co-ordinate with the United Nations representation in Dushanbe in the fulfilment of its tasks. The Chairman-in-Office will remain in contact with the United Nations on these matters. The Head-of-Mission will explore practical ways and means to co-ordinate the efforts in the field, including the possibility of joint office facilities. He/She will submit a proposal for administrative and financial modalities for the mission to the Permanent Committee of the CSCE for decision not later than 15 January 1994. 5.
