UNSC praises Bosnia peace pact:
The UN Security Council has welcomed the cease-fire agreement signed by the Muslim-led Bosnian government and the Serbs on December 23 and 31 respectively. However, Bosnian Ambassador to the UN Muhamed Sacirbey has expressed concern that the Council is overlooking on-going fighting around the Bihac enclave by the Croatian Serbs, who are not a party to the
cease-fire. UN spokesperson Joe Sills said that the reduction in attacks around Bihac were most likely due to the "severe winter than...any peace pact". Sacirbey stressed that as long as the attacks continued in the Bihac enclave, "the entire cease-fire and cessation of hostilities [would] be in
doubt".
