E Timor: Security Situation In Past 13 Days Good, Meeting Agrees

Dili, August 26 (ANTARA)-During the past 13 days of campaigning
for the August 30 ballot, the security situation in East Timor has
remained good so there is no reasonfor any postponement of the
ballot, representatives of several governmental and semi-
governmental bodies agreed at a meeting here Thursday.

The meeting was between BN Marbun of the Commission of Peace and
Stability (KPS), Dino Patti Djalal of the Task Force for the
Implementation of the East Timor Popular Consultation (P3TT) and
Capt Widodo HS of the East Timor Police.

In a statement to the press following the meeting, Marbun said
since they started last August 14, campaign activities had ran
well, not only in the capitals of East Timor's 13 districts but in
most villages as well.

"There were very few instances of intimidation, terorrizing or
violence, and both the pro-integration and the pro-independence
camps, he noted.

This secure and controlled situation was evidence that there was
cooperation among all parties involved, between the public and the
security agencies, and mutual understanding between the
prointegration and pro-independence camps, he noted.

There was no more reason for any party to want to delay the August
30 ballot, Marbun said.

About the UN's condition that both camps must lay down and
eventually surrender their arms, Marbun said the KPS was working
with the leaderships of the prointegration, Integration Fighters
Troops (PPI) and the proindependence Falintil to meet the
requirement.
