  • Story Text: New international mediator Carl Bildt on Thursday (June 15) presented a bleak view of the conflict in former Yugoslavia, saying Bosnia is "heading toward war" and no peace process now exists there.

    At a news conference in Washington, Bildt also predicted if the United States (U.S.) Congress denies funds for a rapid reaction force to protect U.N. (United Nations) peacekeepers, Bosnian Serbs will be "rejoicing".

    He rejected what he said was former President Jimmy Carter's suggestion that early direct peace talks be resumed with the Bosnian Serbs.
