...Serbs remain disturbed by the entire business. Last month several U.S. lawmakers got a similar reaction from Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic in Belgrade. Over espresso and pastries, Milosevic told them that Americans "are looking for trouble," says Republican Representative Jim Ramstad of Minnesota. Milosevic, widely blamed for igniting the Balkan wars, has some unexpected allies. Retired top U.S. military officers who until recently were responsible for the Balkans say the plan may embolden the Bosnians to seize land now held by the Bosnian Serbs.

At times the ruthless Balkan bosses--especially Milosevic--probably saw something of themselves reflected in Holbrooke. He stroked their egos, he laughed at their jokes, he drank their plum brandy--Milosevic praised his skill as a "bulls------ artist." But Holbrooke was also tough. Once, when Izetbegovic was hesitating over a cease-fire agreement, he barked...
Just two days before the treaty signing, Bosnian Serb military commander General Ratko Mladic released two French pilots who were shot down during a nato bombing raid Aug. 30.
