No peace plan, no more troops
Article Abstract:
America, the UK and other Nato allies are unwilling to participate in peace-making in Bosnia-Herzegovina because the likely casualties could not be justified. However, the UN forces already present in Bosnia are suitably equipped. Nato commander of Allied Forces South US Admiral Jeremy Boorda, based in Naples, could lead a large Balkan command of 150,000 troops. Nato's Rapid Reaction Corps, about 30% of which is British, would control 60,000 troops in Bosnia. The rest would have to come from the US, Russia and France.

A battle for dignity amid the guns
Article Abstract:
British UN troops in Warriors rescued four UN military observers from Zepce, Bosnia and removed religious artefacts from Pecine's church to the safe-keeping of the Novi Travnik Catholic Croatian community. The Bosnian Muslims wreck houses and villages but leave churches alone. The UN soldiers met some old people still living in the deserted village of Pecine. They had lived in the village for 75 years. The Muslims take them food.
