  • Story Text: Fierce fighting continued between the Bosnian Serb army (BSA) and Bosnian Croat (HVO) and Bosnian Government (BIH) troops in central Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday (April 26) - 4 days before the expiry of a 4-month ceasefire.

    Captain Anto Bajic of the 110th HVO brigade, stationed on the frontline near Usora overlooking the Serb-held town of Doboj, said activity had increased significantly on Wednesday with BSA shelling both HVO and BIH frontlines and civilian areas.

    Fighting in Bosnia has been increasing in advance of the ceasefire expiry date on May 1. U.N. mediators have so far failed to convince either the Bosnian Government or the Bosnian Serb leadership to extend the ceasefire.
