- Share via
The defense chief of the volatile Serbian-held Krajina region of Croatia broke with his political superior and said he supports a U.N. effort to deploy thousands of peacekeeping troops to the crumbling Yugoslav federation. Milan Martic, interior minister of self-proclaimed independent Krajina, said he wants the peacekeepers to come as soon as possible. Tensions are high in the region, imperiling the 16-day-old cease-fire. Martic’s support of the peacekeepers puts him at odds with the region’s political leader, Milan Babic.
