- <p>The U.N. ousts Belgrade to stiffen its demands for peace in
- Bosnia
- </p>
- <p> Only two republics -- Serbia and Montenegro -- remain in what
- Belgrade continues to call Yugoslavia, and the U.N. General
- Assembly is having none of it. The Assembly voted 127 to 6 to
- oust the truncated federation. In order to reclaim U.N.
- membership, it will have to reapply as a new nation and gain
- approval from the Security Council. And to do that, so-called
- Yugoslavia will have to prove it has stopped supporting Serbian
- militias in Bosnia and is working to restore peace.
- </p>
- <p> Before the vote, Yugoslav Prime Minister Milan Panic had
- asked the Assembly to hold off the expulsion to give him some
- leverage in his power struggle with "militant nationalists" in
- Belgrade. Diplomats said they accepted Panic's good intentions
- but doubted his ability to deliver.
- </p>
- <p> Fighting continued in Bosnia, and a badly shaken young
- Muslim man told correspondents in Zagreb that he had survived
- a massacre of more than 200 Muslims by Serbs on Aug. 21.
