Serb Leader Sees Ripened Moment for Peace Conference
Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic urged support for an international peace conference of mediators and regional leaders as U.S. and Russian plans take shape. Delayed talks in Sarajevo followed bad weather while Serbs and Croats fought for western towns and refugees kept crossing borders. Karadzic hoped for major political steps by month’s end, calling for an independent Bosnian Serb state and signaling possible concessions amid stalled negotiations.
