...Serbs like Milic spent most of last week fleeing before the army of Croatian President Franjo Tudjman. Tudjman's soldiers needed just five days to conquer Krajina, the crescent-shaped region whose Croatian Serb majority seceded from Croatia in 1991 with the help and encouragement of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic. Tudjman's victory last week created the largest exodus of refugees since the Balkan wars began; at the same time, the offensive shook up the region's political and military balance of power, and as a result seemed to create an opportunity for peace. The White House is now attempting...
...Bosnian Croats and the Bosnian Muslims, all of whom are allied; and those of the Bosnian Serbs, the Croatian Serbs and some renegade Bosnian Muslims, all of whom are also allied. If the Serbs of Croatia and Bosnia begin to lose battles and territory, the President of Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic, may be tempted to send in yet another army--his own, the powerful remainder of former Yugoslav forces...
Serbia's President Slobodan Milosevic may dupe the international community, but the man who started the war cannot become a peacemaker overnight.

The solution to the region's problems requires, first and foremost, patience...

The U.S. and other members of the five-nation Contact Group that is trying to negotiate a settlement in Bosnia have been hoping Milosevic, smarting under tough U.N. economic sanctions, was preparing to recognize the Bosnian state and force the rebel Serbs to sit down to work out an agreement. That might still be true, with the taking of the enclaves a last-stage land grab after which the Bosnian...
...interview published in TIME last week, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic offered his services as a Balkan peace broker, promising to bring the Bosnian Serbs closer to a deal, provided U.N.-imposed sanctions against Yugoslavia are lifted. The proposal made no waves in Washington, since it recycled ideas that had been rejected by the U.S. Then hard on the heels of the capture of Srebrenica by the Bosnian Serb army, Time has learned, Carl Bildt, the peace negotiator for the European Union, presented Milosevic with a number of ideas that might make a deal more palatable all around, including...
