- Story Text: Refugees in a camp in the Croatian capital Zagreb on Wednesday (November 22) expressed scepticism at terms of a Balkan peace agreement initialled the day beforehand in the United States.
The peace deal signed by Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic in Dayton, Ohio, ensures that many refugees and displaced persons forced to flee from Serb-held territory will be allowed to return to their homes.
But Tudjman failed in a last-ditch bid to secure the strategic Posavina corridor for the Moslem-Croat federation.
Bosnian Moslem refugee Sedika Becic was angry that her home town of Doboj is scheduled to remain in Serb-held territory under terms of Tuesday's agreement.
Bosnian Moslem refugee Fadila Aganovic, 39, from Sanski Most predicted that refugees returning home would would carry out acts of revenge. She has eight children. Her two eldest sons have been fighting in the Bosnian army and the eldest of them has been missing for two years. She wants to go home but her home has been destroyed.
Marko Patljak, a Bosnian Croat who used to be a policeman in Modrica says he will never return home to live under Serb rule.
