Croats tighten grip as Serb rebels surrender in Croatia
Yugoslav army tanks rolled toward Croatia after rebel Serbs, battered by government forces, surrendered and agreed to give up heavy weapons in exchange for safe passage into Serb-held Bosnian areas. UN brokered talks permit Serbs to join a mass exodus, potentially the region's largest in four years. The Croatian army claimed Krajina no longer exists, signaling a shift in control and a move to quell Serb anger over the rout. Tens of thousands already fled, with estimates reaching 200,000 plus in coming days.
