Please find the attached information on this topic. A cease-fire
accord was established in the beginning of June 1991 and a revised

was introduced. Information on the current consequences of these
events and on the sanctions for desertion or draft evasion from
military service is currently unavailable to the IRBDC in Ottawa.
