Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic said in a statement today that he had persuaded the Bosnian Serbs torelease the 256 UN peacekeepers still held hostage. The statement does not say when the hostages will be set free. Milosevic has sent an aide to the Bosnian Serb stronghold of Pale to join the Greek foreign and defense ministers who are thereto try to negotiate a quick release. Despite Milosevic's assurances, the Bosnian Serbs appear to be digging in their heels, saying they won't release any more hostages without a UN pledge to halt air strikes. In Sarajevo, theBosnian Serb troops...
...Muslim-led Bosnian government traded thousands of artillery shells with Bosnian Serbs in a two-day battle. The fighting was the worst in 15 months. Meanwhile, in its latest desperate effort to brake the slide toward all-out war in Bosnia, the U.S. presented Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic with an offer of relief from international sanctions if Serbia recognizes Bosnia's borders. Milosevic offered no response...

...Katz's argument rings hollow. Who is to say that a more organized, better funded and technologically more advanced Serb army wouldn't systematically destroy the Muslim population of Bosnia? Recently discovered documents have shown the evil intent of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic as he ordered the vicious murder of peaceful Bosnian Muslims. Are the Serbs just Nazis whose military teeth are not quite has sharp...
...just released report from the CIA concludes that 90% of Bosnian war atrocities were committed by the Serbs, with at least the tacit approval of their leaders. The report, based on aerial photographs and firsthand accounts, comes just as the U.S. and its European allies are portraying Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic as a peacemaker, seeking to lure him into serious negotiations with the Bosnian government and Croatia. Meanwhile, in northwestern Bosnia, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees cut emergency food aid to more than 100,000 Croatian Serbs and Muslim rebels, saying their leaders were making relief efforts impossible...
