...Tudjman said he would take the city of Vukovar, in the disputed area, by force." Despite such progress, however, Secretary of State Warren Christopher has said that "vast differences [remain] to be bridged." Christopher has insisted on dealing with human rights questions, including the massacres of Muslims by Bosnian Serbs. He has also made it clear that no U.S. troops would be sent to the area if Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and General Ratko Mladic -- now under indictment by the international war crimes tribunal -- are still in power...
Special Correspondent Edward Barnes says that to the extent that a newly-released Dutch report about Bosnian Serb massacres directly implicates General Ratko Mladic in the killings, "it definitely complicates the peace process.

The demand, which requires approval of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, would allow Serb leaders to hold a referendum on the new nation after a year. TIME's Bruce Van Voorst says that Milosevic is likely to reject both demands, and that the vote may simply be part of the Serb negotiating strategy: "It's not clear how much clout Milosevic has with the Bosnian Serbs. But it could be that Milosevic asked for this...
