continued their shelling and bombing of cities in Bosnia, with particularly heavy
fighting in Sarajevo. Fighting intensified in October, November, and December 1992.
While Bosnian Muslims and Croats had been allied with Croatia against the Serbs,
this alliance began to falter in October 1992. Croatia and the Serbs signed a pact to
end tensions, and Croatia began a dispute with Bosnia on October 20th (MID#3556).
In December 1992, 51 nations censured the Serbian government for its support of
the nationalists fighting in Bosnia, and under increased international pressure and
economic sanctions against Serbia, Milosevic called for the Serb leader in Bosnia to
attend new peace talks scheduled in March 1993. These peace talks followed a failed
UN plan that would have separated Bosnia into 10 republics, with a ceasefire between
Serbs, Muslims, and Croats in Bosnia. The original plan was accepted by the Bosnian
Croats but rejected by the Serbs.
