- <p>As freezing cold claims lives in Bosnia, the political heat
- rises
- </p>
- <p> Since the start of the Bosnian tragedy, feuding Serbs, Croats
- and Muslims have agreed on one assessment: wait until winter--things will get worse. Last week, as temperatures dipped to 0
- degrees F, besieged Sarajevo witnessed its first deaths by
- freezing. "This," warned U.N. spokesman Peter Kessler, "is the
- beginning of what will be hundreds, perhaps thousands of deaths
- this winter."

- <p> Despite a flurry of diplomatic activity in Geneva,
- prospects for a peace settlement seemed as remote as ever. U.N.
- Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, booed during a visit
- to Sarajevo, emerged empty-handed from talks with the Presidents
- of Bosnia, Croatia and Yugoslavia. As thousands of Bosnian
- fighters massed on a mountain southwest of Sarajevo in apparent
- preparation for an offensive, Boutros-Ghali called for 10,000
- U.N. troops to supplement the more than 7,000 who patrol Bosnia.
- An additional group of 33 U.N. military advisers headed for
- Macedonia.
