Sarajevo residents were urged to stay indoors as occasional blasts shook the city. But even as they fought each other, Serbs and Muslims agreed to start exchanging all prisoners. The shelling was lighter than earlier in the weekend when U.N. monitors counted 590 projectiles hitting the city and 69 rounds fired by Sarajevo defenders at besieging Serbs in surrounding hills.
