Croatia seeks NATO troops to police eastern Slavonia
Croatia requests up to 7 000 NATO troops to police the Serb held eastern Slavonian land while peace talks loom in the United States. Officials warn NATO plans in Bosnia could be complicated by a parallel Croatian force. An anonymous NATO official said no Croatian request is known. Separately, UN reports indicate Serb abuses in Sanski Most with possible mass killings, prompting aid workers to estimate thousands may have been murdered or separated from families.
