...threatened NATO air strikes against Bosnian Serbs and, for the first time, against Muslims, unless both sides stop violations of a cease-fire. The U.N. was responding to heavy shelling near Sarajevo by the warring parties in the past week...
...Bosnian Serb leaders demanded that they be given 64 percent of all Bosnia in exchange for peace -- the first time they've articulated such a claim. Don't bet on their getting what they asked for.

...Bosnian Serb assembly, following up on a threat made yesterday, voted unanimously to put a peace plan, sponsored by the West, to a referendum by the end of August. The Bosnian Serb population is expected to follow their leaders' cue and reject the plan...
