SARAJEVO, Jan 19 (AFP-NT) - Deadlines in Bosnia's peace accord must be met, Richard Holbrooke, the US diplomat who brokered the agreement, said here Thursday ahead of the Friday midnight limit for prisoner releases and troop withdrawals. "We reaffirm all deadlines," Holbrooke told reporters on a visit to the Bosnian capital with members of the five-nation "contact group,". The first major deadline to be met by the former warring factions in Bosnia-Hercegovina expires midnight Friday. By this time, all prisoners of war must be freed and all military forces must pull out of a zone of separation along the entire length of Bosnia-Hercegovina's front line. While the military withdrawal appears to be going well, wrangles over the release of prisoners has been overshadowed by a row over allegations that Bosnian Serbs are still holding hundreds of civilians prisoner. Bosnian Foreign Minister Muhamed Sacirbey charged Wednesday that some 1,000 people were being held in forced labour camps in Serb-held Bosnia and should be included among those due to be released Friday. Holbrooke declined to elaborate on the consequences for any of the three parties, who did not comply with Friday's deadline but stressed that the NATO-led Implementation Force in Bosnia-Hercegovina "had the authority to do whatever it feels is necessary to fulfill its larger mission." Bosnia's three warring factions, the Bosnian Croats, their Serb counterparts, and the Bosnian government authorities, signed up to the Dayton peace accord. awb/gk AFP /AA1234/181826 GMT JAN 96
