World IN BRIEF : BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA : U.N., Yugoslavia Lift Sanctions on Serbs
- Share via
The United Nations and Serb-dominated rump Yugoslavia lifted sanctions against the Bosnian Serbs as a reward for their accepting peace. Bosnian Serb leaders praised the U.N. suspension, announced in New York by the Security Council president, U.S. Ambassador Madeleine Albright. The suspension came after the council received a letter from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization certifying that the Bosnian Serbs had withdrawn their forces from buffer zones established under the Dayton, Ohio, peace agreement. Yugoslavia’s decision, announced by the official news agency, Tanjug, was aimed at improving ties between the Bosnian Serbs and Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, Yugoslavia’s most powerful politician.
