...Much will depend on how satisfied the parties are with the details and whether or not they felt pushed into this," reports TIME's James Graff. Under the terms of the peace, Bosnia will remain a single state divided into two parts, a Serb republic and a Muslim-Croat federation. The Bosnian state encompassing these two parts will have a central government, a presidency and a parliament. The government will be elected by voters throughout the bifurcated state, under international election supervision. No indicted war criminals may hold office.

Muslims and Croats, for example, are assured a safe corridor through Serbian territory from Sarajevo to the Muslim city of Goradze.

But lest the meetings become too productive, Croatian President Franjo Tudjman renewed his threat to retake a strip of Serb-held territory in eastern Croatia if negotiations do not provide its return by Nov. 30.
