Bosnia next?

Bosnian Serb parliament
condemns NATO Yugo
attacks
12:40 p.m. Apr 27, 1999 Eastern

BANJA LUKA, Bosnia, April 27
(Reuters) - The Bosnian Serb
parliament on Tuesday adopted a
declaration strongly condemning the
West's military action against
neighbouring Yugoslavia, whose
dominant republic is Serbia.

Adopted at an extraordinary
session in the Bosnian Serb capital
Banja Luka, the declaration said
there was no justification for the
destruction of a sovereign state and
its people.

It warned that attacks on oil
refineries and chemical plants in
Yugoslavia might have wider
ecological consequences, and
appealed for a stop to NATO's
bombing campaign.

The assembly said the attacks
threatened to destabilise Bosnia's
Serb entity and endanger the
implementation of the Dayton peace
agreement that ended the country's
1992-1995 war.

The assembly said Bosnian Serb
military observers should be
deployed in the territory of the
Moslem-Croat federation, the
country's other autonomous entity,
to monitor any army movements
there.

This follows Bosnian Serb media
reports, denied in the federation
and by Western envoys, that the
federation army was involved in the
conflict and that NATO was using
Bosnia's territory and air space for
its air raids.

Bosnian Serb leaders have earlier
slammed the NATO bombing
campaign as an attack on all Serbs.

In contrast, federation leaders have
voiced support for the West's
action, saying it was needed to
force Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic to accept a peace plan
for the Serbian province of
Kosovo.
