The summit closed with President Clinton and his NATO allies warning Serbian forces of a new determination to launch air strikes if needed to relieve embattled Muslim enclaves in Bosnia.

In their final statement, NATO leaders endorsed the U.S. proposal for a “Partnership for Peace,” which invites East Europeans to take part in military exercises and other activities. It also opens the possibility of NATO membership.

VOICES

“I don’t know that the threshold is lower, but there are more instances in which air power can be used now.”
