...these victories are not the end of the Balkan horror story--just the close of another bloody chapter, with the worst still to come. If settlements are soft on Serbia, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic could cause a European crisis that will dwarf the current one, and put millions more lives at risk...
...grave breaches of international humanitarian law" in Bosnia and Herzegovina time and again. Eagleburger took it a step further, warning the criminals of "a second Nuremberg" and linking specific men to the crimes: four Serbs, two Croats and a Muslim. He also named three political leaders, including Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, as bearing special responsibility. Yet there are no signs that any of this is more than the rhetoric of outrage. Two of the men Eagleburger fingered are to fly to Geneva this month at U.N. expense to talk peace with Bosnian leaders...

The U.S. had publicly charged him with war crimes, the international community was tightening economic sanctions on his country, and the inflation rate was running at 20,000% annually. But none of that mattered. Milosevic, the virulent nationalist, was re-elected with 55% of the vote in the race for the Serbian presidency...
...Eagleburger managed to strip away the familiarity and make the accusations arresting again. He named seven Serbs, two Croats and one Muslim allegedly responsible for such atrocities in Bosnia and Croatia; the accused ranged from the very obscure (concentration-camp commander Drago Prcac) to the globally notorious (Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic). All, said Eagleburger, should be hauled before an international court of justice -- a "second Nuremberg" -- and tried for war crimes...
