- This couldn't be any farther from the truth. There is an arms embergo on
- all of the former Yugoslav republics which is supposedly in place to
- prevent the war from escalating. Since the embargo was put in place,
- the war continued to escalate, as the Serbian forces had plenty of
- weapons left over from the ex-Yugoslav army. Since they continued to
- escalate the fighting, it was decided to impose economic sanctions
- against Serbia-Montenegro to try to persuade them to stop attacking.
-
- So Bosnia is NOT under any sanctions. They are only prevented from
- buying arms, as are Slovenia and Croatia prevented from buying arms.
