The Bosnia peace plan envisions a three way presidency shared by a Muslim Serb and Croat with the majority vote determining the chair. The Dayton accord grants mainly symbolic powers to the chair and preserves autonomy for the Muslim Croat federation and Serb republic. Stability hinges on avoiding parliamentary and presidential stalemates while determining international troop levels beyond December. Izetbegovic warned Muslims to vote united as Krajisnik, deputy to Radovan Karadzic, faces unresolved war crimes indictments.
