Article Abstract:

Observers still point out that the international approach to the issue is very uncoordinated, and this can be exploited by all the warring factions in the Balkans. The most significant recent event has been the taking of hostages by the Bosnian Serbs, indicating the vulnerability of international forces.

Article Abstract:

Serbia is only likely to respond if the Krajina Serbs are subjected to a long period of attack from the Croats.

There has also been fighting elsewhere, and in a number of cases Croats fired on United Nations peacekeepers. Nato has threatened to launch air strikes if peacekeepers come under further attack.
