  • Story Text: United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) troops patrolled the frontlines around Sarajevo on Friday (April 15), one day after Bosnian Serbs restricted the movement of other United Nations (U.N.) troops elsewhere in Bosnia.

    Yasushi Akashi, U.N. special envoy, Thorvald Stoltenberg, peace mediator and Russian special envoy Vitaly Churkin arrived in Pale on Friday afternoon for talks with Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic.

    In Sarajevo, a sniper fired at a tram passing the Holiday Inn on Friday and wounded four passengers. The injured were three women in their twenties and a 46-year-old man. After the shooting incident all trams running in the capital ceased their services.
