WASHINGTON, D.C.: After months of negotiation and tough talk, the State Department has enlisted the help of Richard Holbrooke to help negotiate the removal of war-crime suspect Radovan Karadzic. Holbrooke, the negotiator who played a crucial role in the talks that led to the Dayton agreement, departed Monday for a series of talks with Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic, Croatian president Franjo Tudjman and Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic, the same group that hashed out the Dayton peace accords. "Holbrooke might succeed where others have failed because of his special credibility after Dayton," says TIME's Dean Fischer. "He also enjoys...

Not to worry: Anastasijevic says...
Diplomacy is often a high-stakes game of chicken. This time the showdown is between the U.S. and Serb President Slobodan Milosevic over the fate of Radovan Karadzic, Bosnia's defiant Serb leader and most-wanted war criminal. His continued authority and freedom have been galling the West ever since the Dayton peace accords promised last December that he would be dumped from power and delivered to trial. Now he stands squarely in the way of Washington's rickety peace plan to hold "free and fair" elections this September in Bosnia--elections that will allow NATO forces to declare success...
...Hague, hundreds of Balkan triggermen who carried out atrocities and scores of high-ranking apparatchiks and politicians who ordered the genocide go about their lives as if nothing has happened.

It could take years to prosecute even...
