Yugoslav Leaders Clash Over Bosnia Recognition Moves
Milan Panic said Belgrade would recognize Bosnia as a separate state within its current borders, a stance at odds with Cosic who suggested Bosnian Serbs might seek independence. Panic has pursued such refusals in the past to ease West tensions. In besieged northern Bosnia, UNHCR warned Serbs against evicting 28,000 Muslims as it planned to send aid convoys and observers to persuade residents to stay. Helsinki Watch urged a UN tribunal for war crimes after reports of mass killings by Serb militias in Zaklopace, eastern Bosnia, including 83 Muslims with 11 children and 16 elderly.
