BOSNIA: GOVERNMENT TROOPS DIG IN DURING CEASEFIRE

(12 Nov 1995) Natural Sound Bosnian government troops in the eastern enclave of Gorazde are taking advantage of the ceasefire to shore up their defences. The signing of an agreement strengthening the Muslim-Croat Federation in Dayton, Ohio on Friday has done little to ease fears in Bosnia that the war is not yet over. The signing was hailed as the first step towards a comprehensive peace settlement but Bosnian government troops in the vulnerable Gorazde safe-haven appear to be taking no chances. While the Bosnian, Serb and Croat leaders talk peace in Dayton, Ohio, the soldiers on the ground are still preparing for war. These Bosnian government soldiers in the exposed eastern enclave of Gorazde are making use of the cease-fire to dig in their position. They have spent the last few weeks digging fresh trenches and shoring up their makeshift defences. The signing on Friday of an agreement strengthening the Croat-Muslim alliance has done little to reassure them that peace is on the way. The agreement builds on the U-S-sponsored accord the two countries signed in 1994. It was the first tangible sign of progress in the talks that started at the beginning of the month. But despite the optimism of Friday's agreement, there is a strong sense that that was the easy bit. An accord between the Bosnian government and the Bosnian Serb rebels will be far harder to reach. Among the details to be worked on are the lifting of the siege of Sarajevo and a corridor to the isolated Gorazde enclave. The Bosnian government is also insisting that the Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and General Ratko Mladic are replaced. A month into the latest cease-fire, Bosnia is largely quiet. But the Bosnian Serb news agency S-R-N-A reported that two Serb soldiers allegedly shot by government snipers near the northern town of Brcko had died of their wounds.
