...correspondent Alexandra Stiglmayer reports from Sarajevo that the people of the besieged city are still not ready to hope for permanent peace. Even though they look forward to the arrival of NATO troops, says Stiglmayer, they worry about what will happen after the soldiers leave. "The enmity between the Serbs and Muslims is deep," she says. The Serb demonstrations demanding autonomy in the city are a constant reminder of that fact. One piece of news which cheered the Bosnian Muslims of the city was the announcement by Senator Bob Dole that he was supporting the deployment of American troops. "They...

...Criminals. For their role in atrocities against Muslim civilians that have already provoked indictments from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his military commander, Ratko Mladic, will be barred from participating in the Bosnian Serb government. Milosevic is still balking at Muslim demands that Karadzic and Mladic be extradited for trial in the Hague, despite a new round of genocide charges against the two last week for the alleged involvement in the July slaughter at Srebrenica. Nevertheless, the Serbian President has pledged to cooperate with the Tribunal...
