...attack and three others by the Bosnian Serbs, three NATO jets destroyed a Bosnian Serb tank that had violated the 12.5-mile exclusion zone around Sarajevo. Attempting to further isolate the Bosnian Serbs from their longtime backers in Serbia, the U.N. Security Council voted to ease minor sanctions against Serbian-dominated Yugoslavia. The move came after Serbia's President agreed to enforce an embargo on the shipment of war supplies to the Serbs in Bosnia...
American jets flying a NATO mission attacked Bosnian Serb targets near Sarajevo after a group of Bosnian Serbs broke into a U.N. compound and stole heavy weapons that were placed under U.N. control in February. The Bosnian Serbs' raid came one day after Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic cut economic and political ties to punish the Bosnian Serbs for their third rejection of a Western-brokered peace settlement. Although he has been their primary sponsor in the 28-month war, Milosevic appears to be fearful that continuing to support the Bosnian Serbs would lead to tightened trade sanctions against Serbia, thus...
...Bosnian Serbs apparently learned their lesson after the NATO strike and agreed to return the weapons they took.

For now, Yugoslavia's pugnacious stance towards its cousins eases the pressure on Western countries to punish the Bosnian Serbs, who rejected a peace plan last week. "Milosevic is doing all the dirty work for (the West)," says Graff...
...rejection of the Western-sponsored plan. "It's a way of shirking responsibility," says TIME's Central Europe Bureau Chief James Graff. "The people are sure to reject the plan because that's the message they are getting from their government." More critical is the next step taken by Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic. He has criticized the Bosnian Serbs for dismissing the latest peace plan. Milosevic has a lot to gain by ending the conflict and pushing the United Nations to lift sanctions crippling the Serbian economy, says Graff.Can Milosevic be trusted? According to TIME's Graff, Western military sources...
