BELGRADE: Meeting on Monday with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights John Shattuck made it clear that the United States expects Milosevic to help resolve the war crimes issue. So far the international tribunal in The Hague has indicted 45 Serbs and seven Bosnian Croats, including once-close Milosevic allies Gen. Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, but has been able to arrest only one person. On Sunday, Shattuck visited an area near the former Muslim enclave of Srebrenica, up to now sealed from all allied officials and reporters, where as many as 7,000 civilians...

...YEAR WHEN YASSER ARAFAT, SHIMON Peres and Yitzhak Rabin worked toward peace--and one of them gave his life--when Slobodan Milosevic, Franjo Tudjman and Alija Izetbegovic negotiated the end of Bosnia's lengthy and bloody war, when statesmen who represented the fall of the Iron Curtain are losing their power to a communist comeback, when Helmut Kohl is winning an economic bet in the east of Germany, and President Clinton and his Secretary of State Warren Christopher are defining a new world order, your choice of House Speaker Gingrich as Man of the Year shows how provincial TIME...
Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic finally got the carrot that brought him to the negotiating table in Dayton when President Bill Clinton officially suspended economic and military sanctions against Yugoslavia on Thursday, ending a three-year boycott of the country. Lifting of sanctions that had crippled his county had been a crucial issue for Milosevic, who in effect promised to deliver the Bosnian Serbs in return for a lifting of sanctions. Key to his decision, Clinton said, were assurances that the U.S. would be able to monitor Serb compliance with the Dayton accords: "Before agreeing to sanctions suspension," Clinton said...
