...During the long siege of Sarajevo, this modern metropolitan area had been a haunt of Serb bands like Vojislav Seselj's White Eagles and Zeljko ("Arkan") Raznatovic's Tigers, who used it as a base for snipers and mortar attacks on the government-held center. Muslims who failed to flee at the start of war in April 1992 found themselves trapped inside the enclave, facing death at the hands of "ethnic cleansers." In short order, the place was left almost entirely to the Serbs...
...peace of the past three months, says Kruno, has been in many ways worse than the war. As the March 19 turnover date approached, thousands of Serbs--either fearful of Muslim reprisals or threatened by Serb hard-liners--began to flee with their belongings and anything else they could take with them. At night, firebugs and looters took over the streets, stripping apartments of everything from TV sets to parquet floors and setting fire to what remained.

...government's bellicose posturing is alienating many Serbs who inhabit the suburbs surrounding Sarajevo. Thousands have already left, and others say they will flee when the Muslims assume full control over their neighborhoods on March 20. Such anxiety is only exacerbated by the government's reluctance to pass an amnesty law for Serbs and Croats who fought against the Muslims in the war. The law, which is essential for reconciliation between the rival ethnic camps, failed to pass muster in Bosnia's parliament last month. It will be reviewed this week...
