West's fears of Balkan war coming true

Article Abstract:

The West will try to re-establish Bosnia-Herzegovina as a multi-ethnic state, stop the Muslim desire for revenge, revoke Croatia's annexation of western Herzegovina and force a settlement guaranteeing the status of Serbs. The UN Security Council will authorise force to ground Serbian aircraft. Islamic countries may arm Bosnian Muslims if the no-fly zone is not enforced by Jan 15, 1993. Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia are areas of racial tension which could escalate into war. Vojvodina and Sandzak are also flashpoints.

Digging in for the next Balkan war

Article Abstract:

The withdrawal of 12, 500 United Nations soldiers and policemen from Croatia, who have been monitoring a sensitive truce there since 1992, may well spark off another general conflict in former Yugoslavia. The UN's peacekeeping mandate in Croatia ends on Mar 31, 1995, and has not been renewed by Croatian president Franjo Tudjman, who believes that the UN presence has helped the Krajina Serb rebels to consolidate their hold over almost 30% of Croatia.

The slow fuse in Bosnia could detonate the Balkan powderkeg

Article Abstract:

There has been considerable international activity aimed at bringing peace to Bosnia, but it now seems likely that fighting will start again there. The Bosnian government and the Bosnian Serb authorities both expect fighting to break out after the four-month ceasefire expires at the end of Apr 1995, and a general conflict may develop if Croatia expels UN peacekeepers at the end of their mandate on Mar 31, 1995.
