Verena Krebs, a Red Cross medic, calls the situation the worst in her experience. Clashes reported near Sernovodsk with fighting in Assinovskaya and Bamut as the two month mark approaches.

Bosnian leader warns peace talks near deadline
Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic said government troops may return to war if Serbs do not begin serious peace negotiations as the four month cease fire nears expiry. He urged UN action, possibly lifting the arms embargo, and noted Serbs use of the pause to consolidate gains. Mediation groups push for Serbs to accept a peace plan before talks, while Karadzic favors negotiating first. Gen Rasim Delic said no new meetings and troops continue training.
