The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe agreed to a peacekeeping plan for member nations' troops to act in the region. The 52‑nation CSCE aims to head off conflicts in the former Soviet Union and other hotspots, working with the United Nations, but will not intervene without a ceasefire. Decisions require consensus, and CSCE would rely on NATO or others for troops.

Aid to Sarajevo Shows Good Will but Little Relief
Vienna reports that an internationally policed land route to Sarajevo would be a dramatic gesture but aid little to the 300 000 to 400 000 still inside or the many refugees outside. A settlement or foreign troops seem required, with Western officials doubtful on both. Gorazde remains under Serb control as about 20 000 refugees in the town face food shortages.

He said Britain could deploy up to 512 missiles and reaffirmed commitment to a Europe-built jet fighter.

The federal government and nine English-speaking provinces reach a package addressing Quebec demands for special treatment to halt secession drives. Quebec would be recognized as a distinct society with veto power over future federal changes, and the plan includes native self-government reforms, Senate changes, freer interprovincial trade, and universal health care. A provincial referendum in Quebec by Oct. 26 is still required, with approval pending across all legislatures.
