...SARAJEVO: The U.S. will meet Friday in Rome with the three Balkan presidents and NATO representatives in an effort to diffuse mounting tensions that threaten an already fragile peace accord. At issue is the Serb contention that they are being unfairly singled out for war crimes violations. Stung by the capture and extradition to The Hague of two Serb army officers accused of war crimes, Bosnian Serb leaders have broken off all contact with the NATO peacekeeping force and have warned all Serbs not to cross into Muslim-held areas of Sarajevo. Bosnia's Muslim government is still holding...
...SARAJEVO: Chief U.S. mediator Richard Holbrooke headed back to the Balkans as Bosnia slid closer to war, the furious Bosnian Serb Army cutting contact with NATO forces and forbidding civilians to move about freely. These actions frustrate the most important achievements of the peace processes: open lines of communication with NATO and free travel. The Bosnian Serbs are protesting the arrest of two Serb soldiers, Gen. Djordje Djukic and Col. Aleksa Krsmanovic, who are now being held by the Bosnian Muslims pending their possible indictment by the International War Crimes Tribunal. In a rare press conference, Serb Lt. General Milan...

...Tuzla on Friday. "It was quite violent," says Stiglmayer. "They threw rocks and broke windows of a government building." Dozens of the women, who are the wives and daughters and mothers of men missing since the Serbs overran the Muslim enclave of Srebenica last fall, also traveled to Sarajevo to protest what they claim is the inaction of the government in getting an accounting. "These women claim that out of 8,000 missing men, 3,000 are still alive and being held in Serb prisons or labor camps," says Stiglmayer. "While the 3,000 number seems very high, I have...
