...leadership, so effective in engineering the current peace accord in Bosnia, has yet to play a significant role in Burundi. Although National Security Adviser Anthony Lake has voiced a keen interest in the region and regularly holds meetings on Burundi with senior Administration officials, and although U.N. envoy Albright visited the country on Jan. 20 to warn against any party's seizing power by force, such efforts have yet to produce noticeable results on the ground. Humanitarian considerations aside, Washington does have cause for concern. In 1994 the U.S. spent more than half a billion dollars to assist the victims...
Bowing to pressure from Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, Bosnian Serb leaders agreed to release some 180 prisoners of war and allow a full probe into suspected mass graves. They also pledged cooperation with war-crimes investigators. The commander of NATO-led forces in Bosnia said there may be 200 to 300 mass graves in Bosnia. As many as 7,000 people are missing from Srebrenica alone, which was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces last July. By week's end, Bosnian Croats and Muslims had freed 250 prisoners; the Serbs none...

Also, TIME's Alexandra Stiglmayer reports that Srebenican women demonstrated again in Tuzla on Friday. "It was quite violent," says Stiglmayer. "They threw rocks and broke windows of a government building." Dozens...
...still a significant step. Koljevic is thought to be connected to Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, so there is at least a speculative link to power there." Koljevic met with Kresimir Zubak, president of the Muslim and Croat federation that the Dayton peace accord says will govern half of Bosnia. According to a member of a delegation from the 52-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the former enemies talked "openly about common issues," such as defusing tensions in Serb-held suburbs of Sarajevo and the elections which are scheduled for next fall. "If nothing else," says Calabresi, "this...
