Record ID: 3568

  • Title: Switzerland: Peace Plan Rejected
  • Date: 30th January 1993
  • Summary: International mediators announced on January 30 that Bosnia-Herzegovina's Moslem-led government and rebel Serbs had refused to sign parts of an international peace plan. Bosnian Croat leader Mate Boban was the only participant in the talks in Geneva to sign all three parts of the peace package, a ceasefire accord, outline constitutional principles and a map showing the proposed provincial shape o f Bosnia. The mediators, UN negotiator Cyrus Vance and EC envoy Lord Owen, said the whole package would be put to the UN Security Council for endorsement in the hope of putting pressure on the Serbs and Moslems to agree. Vance said that he and Owen had urged the three parties to reach agreement over the provincial map, but Moslem President Alija Izetbegovic and Serb leader Radovan Karadzic had rejected it.
