The crux of their discussion that evening was what to do about Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his military commander, General Ratko Mladic. A senior French official who had recently returned from Bosnia had convinced Chirac that Mladic and Karadzic still controlled the situation on the ground and could derail the accords at any time...

...more than reinforce the Balkan status quo. The West has counted on Croatia for stability in the region, so it's not going to blame it now for an internal lack of democracy and human rights." With more than 90 percent of the total count in, Croatiannationalist strongman President Franjo Tudjman has won an easy victory, sidestepping Western media reports that incomplete voter lists had allowed only 10 percent of the country's thousands of ethnic Serbs to have a voice at the polls.
