Summary of AG-045 United Nations Preventive DeploymentForce (UNPREDEP) (1995-1999)

TitleUnited Nations Preventive Deployment Force (UNPREDEP) (1995-1999)

Active Dates1977-1999

Administrative History

The United Nations Preventive Deployment Force (UNPREDEP) was established in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on 31 March 1995 as part of the restructuring of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). Until 31 January 1996, UNPREDEP functioned as one of the three peacekeeping missions overseen by the United Nations Peace Forces (UNPF). The other two peacekeeping missions were the United Nations Confidence Restoration Operation (UNCRO) and UNPROFOR. Effective 1 February 1996, following the termination of the mandates of UNCRO and UNPROFOR, UNPREDEP became an independent mission, reporting directly to United Nations Headquarters in New York.

UNPREDEP was the first peacekeeping mission deployed during peacetime and was intended to prevent the outbreak of war. UNPREDEP was charged with monitoring and reporting any developments along the borders with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and Albania which could undermine confidence and stability in the FYROM and threaten its territory.

UNPREDEP operated both temporary and permanent Observation Posts along a 420-kilometre stretch on the Macedonian side of the border with the FRY and Albania. Several dozen border and community patrols were conducted daily. UNPREDEP also cooperated with Macedonian civilian agencies and offered community services and humanitarian assistance to the local population.

UNPREDEP was headed by two Special Representatives of the Secretary-General (SRSG). Henryk J. Sokalski of Poland served as SRSG from 5 July 1995 to 18 September 1998. Fernando Valenzuela-Marzo of Spain served as SRSG from 18 December 1998 to 28 February 1999.

UNPREDEP operations were terminated on 28 February 1999, after the Security Council did not renew the mandate of UNPREDEP due to a veto by China, a permanent Member of the Security Council.

S-1824 Civilian Police Support 1993-1999

Scope and Content

S-1824 contains records concerning police support provided to the United Nations Preventive Deployment Force (UNPREDEP).

Civilian Police SupportCivilian Police Support were deployed in the border areas of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) to monitor the work of the Macedonian border police. Civilian Police Support also conducted community patrols and liaised with local police.

Included are daily, weekend, and weekly situation reports consolidating information from the following Civilian Police Support stations: Station Skopje, Station Ohrid and Station Tetovo. Situation reports contain information gathered from border patrols regarding: shootings and sporadic firing; discoveries of smuggling; black marketing; and illegal border crossings. Situation reports also cover: demonstrations and hunger strikes held by civilians; visits to refugee camps and movements of refugees; and proceedings of the trial of Gostivar mayor Rufi Osmani held in September 1997, which was prompted by violence resulting from a flag-raising incident in July.

Also detailed in the situation reports are meetings conducted by Civilian Police Support. Meetings with chiefs and deputy commanders of local police concern such topics as: border incidents; local criminal activity; and the organization and administration of local police. Meetings with members of political parties primarily concern the controversial issue of the public raising of the Macedonian, Albanian and Turkish flags. Meetings with mayors concern such issues as: local business and economic conditions; local strikes; drug use; infrastructure challenges; attitudes toward CIVPOL and UNPREDEP’s presence; alleged government hostilities against the ethnic Albanian population; the difficulty of obtaining citizenship papers; and the activities of Roma.

Monthly situation reports, which were prepared by Civilian Police Support teams in Ohrid, Skopje, and Tetovo, detail: cooperation between CIVPOL and the Macedonian police; the professionalism of the Macedonian police; meetings with police chiefs; and incidents, crime trends, and prison visits.

There are also reports about villages visited by Civilian Police Support from Station Gostivar, Station Skopje, Station Ohrid and Station Tetovo. Most profiles are of villages located near FYROM’s borders with Albania and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). Village profiles document repeated visits to villages from 1993 to 1999. Information was gathered through observation and from conversations with village mayors, shopkeepers, farmers, and other residents.

Village profiles provide population figures and percentages of the ethnic makeup of villages, including figures on the following groups: Macedonian Orthodox Christians, Macedonia Muslims, Albanian Muslims, Turks, Roma, and Vlachs. Also noted are: comments about the crime rate; observations about population loss and the abandonment of villages during the winter months; and figures on unemployment and overseas emigration from villages. Details about infrastructure pertain to: plumbing; electricity; telephone lines; conditions of village roads; waste collection; and the functioning of wells and villagers’ access to potable water. Notes about village elementary and secondary schools mention class size, condition of facilities, and language used in instruction (Macedonian, Albanian or Turkish). Also noted are figures about refugees from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo residing in villages, and details about medical services available to and humanitarian assistance needed by villagers.
