U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali said the Security Council should consider withdrawing U.N. forces in the Balkans whether or not a peace agreement is signed. In a letter to the council, he said there are not enough U.N. forces to keep peace in the former Yugoslav federation. Boutros-Ghali did not say when the United Nations should pull out the 36,000 troops, police and observers from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Macedonia.
