Paris bureau chief Thomas Sancton reports that NATO for its part seems ready to take a more active role in policing the Dayton police accord.

Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, one of the area's chief power brokers, backs the Bosnian decision. If his support for the peace plan is wavering, it could collapse. According to Time's Mark Thompson: "The Serbs and Muslims are backing away from the peace accord, and the situation is looking increasingly dire.
