EU offers Serbia deal to ease sanctions on promise
The EU proposed easing sanctions on Serbia if it halts war supplies to Bosnian Serbs. Klaus Kinkel said steps could include returning Serb Yugoslavia to international events and resuming Belgrade airport traffic. At least 135 monitors would patrol the Serbia Bosnia border to block weapons, with Scandinavia pledging about 60. Milosevic earlier stopped most aid to Bosnian Serbs, leaving only food and medicine.
