MOSTAR: More than two years after the European Union assumed control of the city of Mostar, hoping to make it a model for the reintegration of Bosnia, Muslim and Croat leaders agreed today on a plan for governing the city, in spite of anything but model relations between the city's two largest populations. The two sides negotiated an end the Croatian boycott of the June 30 local elections that gave a Muslim-led coalition a majority of the city's council. The Muslims have agreed to a Croat mayor; Croatians have agreed to lift their boycott only after...

"The thing I admire most about Alexandra," says Richard Hornik, TIME's deputy chief of correspondents, "is that she hates not getting the real story...
...person of Serbian heritage, I am grossly embarrassed by the unspeakable war crimes [WORLD, May 13] being inflicted upon Croat and Muslim Bosnian civilians by Serbian war criminals. How swiftly will justice be rendered against those responsible for the blanket of shame? They have humiliated their nation by the mass killings, rapes, lootings and razing of communities, actions designed to dispose of all non-Serbs. Shame on you, Serbia, from one who shares your heritage! JOHN MITOVICH Albuquerque, New Mexico...
