...TALKS BEGAN last Wednesday near Dayton, Ohio, the mood in the Hope Hotel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base was downright frosty. When U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher stood and urged the Balkan leaders to shake hands, they did so in the most perfunctory manner imaginable: Croatia's Franjo Tudjman would not look Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic in the eye; Bosnia's Alija Izetbegovic refused to smile at Tudjman; Milosevic and Izetbegovic stared past each other. Even worse, after the press was dismissed, each man delivered a blunt statement accusing the others of human-rights abuses. But when...
...track. "They're slogging through the talks now," reports TIME's Douglas Waller, "and hope to get an agreement on the Bosnian/Croatian federation by the end of week. That's a very important part of these talks -- and there's still a lot of haggling between Croatia's Franjo Tudjman and Bosnia's Alija Izetbegovic -- but that's minor compared to the difficulties in sorting out the Bosnian/Serb agreement. That's hung up on things like the status of Sarajevo and territorial issues like the corridor between Sarajevo and Goradze. It has been slow going this week and with...
...CONFERENCE, ONCE SUPposed to open on Halloween, will begin instead on All Saints Day. And though planners resolutely refused the temptation to crack any jokes about that timing, the symbolism is as appropriate as it is unintentional.

But they can at least avoid going down in history as the hobgoblins who condemned the Balkans to an endless immersion in hell if they agree on a way to end the bloodshed in Bosnia...
...sponsored talks set for this week in Dayton, Ohio. One hopeful sign: the first civilian convoy to reach Sarajevo since the Bosnian war began in 1992 traveled through Serb-held territory with a welcome cargo of flour and cement. A less hopeful sign: in Croatia, President Franjo Tudjman said that if the final slice of Croatian territory held by Bosnian Serbs is not relinquished through negotiation by the end of November, the Croatian army will move to retake it by force...
...most hopeful sign of progress so far, says Graff, is an agreement between Milosevic and Croatian president Franjo Tudjman to resolve their territorial differences in Eastern Slavonia, and to return refugees. "It's certainly good that they addressed that, since only a few days ago Tudjman said he would take the city of Vukovar, in the disputed area, by force." Despite such progress, however, Secretary of State Warren Christopher has said that "vast differences [remain] to be bridged." Christopher has insisted on dealing with human rights questions, including the massacres of Muslims by Bosnian Serbs. He has also made...
