...Karadzic to make sure lower-level Serb officials in Bosnia also go along with the peace plan. That may not be easy, since many of them are shouting defiance. He appeared on television Friday to tell his people, "We accept the peace." But on Saturday, thousands of Bosnian Serbs protested in and around Sarajevo, vowing to defend their turf...
...extremely complex new design for Bosnia that will be hard to construct and easy to paralyze. It turns the country into a republic containing two "entities." American officials insist this is not a partition and that Bosnia is a unified state, but other observers, including Bosnians, are not so sure.

NATO would then start sending in the main I-FOR the day after the peace is signed in Paris. NATO's southern...
...Bosnian peace agreement was a great achievement for the warring parties and for the American and European diplomats who put it together. It is such a delicate structure of competing and balancing political forces that no one can say whether it will struggle along or collapse once more into war. Similarly, the military mission to police that agreement may succeed or sink into the deadly quagmire so many Americans fear. America, its NATO allies and the Balkan leaders are now bound together in the peace effort, and it will test them all severely...
