Allies, Russia reject U.S. plan for stronger action in Bosnia

Article Abstract:

European countries, especially Britain and France, and Russia oppose the American plan of May 1, 1993 to end the UN arms embargo against Bosnia and to ensure that the Bosnian Muslims were adequately armed against the Bosnian Serbs. Though this plan followed the Bosnian Serbs' original refusal to accept the Vance-Owen peace plan on Apr 26, 1993, the Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic signed Ethics on May 2, 1993. The Bosnia Serb parliament's consequent refusal to ratify this move, Serbia's measures against Bosnia and the creation of five more safe areas in Bosnia are also discussed.
