Breakthrough as Karadzic steps down
Article Abstract:
The president of the Bosnian Serbs, Radovan Karadzic, together with others, has departed from his post, but it is uncertain if he will retain any political influence. The Muslim Party of Democratic Action had suggested withdrawing from the September 1996 elections if Karadzic remained in his post. His resignation will help the elections to be a success. He and colleagues have worked to harm the Dayton accord, which he is expected to continue doing, according to the vice-president of the Muslim Croat Federation, Ejup Ganic.

New Bosnia splits down old lines
Article Abstract:
Many outside observers feel that the recent elections in Bosnia have served merely to strengthen the country's division into Muslim, Serb and Croat sectors, rather than to unite it. There is now conflict over the issue of where the new three-man presidency should meet. Momcilo Krajisnik, a Bosnian Serb nationalist who won a place on the presidency, feels that it should meet in a building located on the dividing line between the Serb-controlled and the Muslim-Croat halves of Bosnia. This has been rejected by Muslim leaders.
