BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Note--Bosnia and Herzegovina is set to enter its third year of
interethnic civil strife which began in the spring of 1992 after the
Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina held a referendum on
independence. Bosnia's Serbs - supported by neighboring Serbia -
responded with armed resistance aimed at partitioning the republic
along ethnic lines and joining Serb-held areas to 'greater Serbia'. In
March 1994, Bosnia's Muslims and Croats reduced the number of warring
factions from three to two by signing an agreement in Washington, DC,
creating the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A group of rebel
Muslims, however, continues to battle government forces in the
northwest enclave of Bihac. A Contact Group of countries, the US, UK,
France, Germany, and Russia, continues to seek a resolution between
the Federation and the Bosnian Serbs. In July of 1994 the Contact
Group presented a plan to the warring parties that roughly equally
divides the country between the two, while maintaining Bosnia in its
current internationally recognized borders. The Federation agreed to
the plan almost immediately, while the Bosnian Serbs rejected it.
