WORLD, Page 31World NotesYUGOSLAVIADogged Is the Peacemaker
Despite the collapse of 14 negotiated truces over the past
six months, the peacemakers have not given up. U.N. special envoy
and former U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance last week put
together the most detailed agreement yet and won approval from
the warring Presidents, Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia and Franjo
Tudjman of Croatia.
Vance's plan calls for the Serb-led Yugoslav federal army
to pull out of the parts of Croatia it controls as a result of
the fighting. A 10,000-strong contingent of U.N. troops would be
deployed for at least six months in the contested areas. Serbs
and Croats would then press ahead on a political solution.
First, of course, a lasting cease-fire must take effect.
The two sides agreed to end hostilities on Friday. As so often
before, they promised not to shoot first, but this time they
also pledged not to retaliate even if they are fired upon. U.N.
officials were hopeful that a real truce would take hold. But
fighting broke out after the deadline and by some reports
continued into the weekend.
