- <p>As Bosnia's President signs a peace plan, Serb fighters press
- eastward
- </p>
- <p> With fast-moving Serb combatants on one track and the
- painfully deliberate forces of international diplomacy on the
- other, the struggle to resolve the civil war in Bosnia has turned
- into a hare-tortoise race. With more than two-thirds of the
- former Yugoslav republic under their control, Serb nationalists
- continued to drive eastward, occupying about one new village a
- day, toward Muslim Srebrenica. A U.N.-sponsored relief effort
- to airlift the ill and injured out of Srebrenica collapsed when
- Serb gunners shelled mission helicopters, killing two.
- </p>
- <p> At U.N. headquarters, Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic,
- a Muslim, finally signed on to a four-part peace plan calling
- for dividing the Balkan country into 10 semiautonomous regions.
- On Friday General Ratko Mladic, the commander of Bosnia's
- Serbs, agreed to a cease-fire early this week. Whether that
- amounted to a real military pause just short of the goal--or
- a ploy--remained to be seen.
