<p>As Bosnia's President signs a peace plan, Serb fighters press
eastward
</p>
<p> With fast-moving Serb combatants on one track and the
painfully deliberate forces of international diplomacy on the
other, the struggle to resolve the civil war in Bosnia has turned
into a hare-tortoise race. With more than two-thirds of the
former Yugoslav republic under their control, Serb nationalists
continued to drive eastward, occupying about one new village a
day, toward Muslim Srebrenica. A U.N.-sponsored relief effort
to airlift the ill and injured out of Srebrenica collapsed when
Serb gunners shelled mission helicopters, killing two.
</p>
<p> At U.N. headquarters, Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic,
a Muslim, finally signed on to a four-part peace plan calling
for dividing the Balkan country into 10 semiautonomous regions.
On Friday General Ratko Mladic, the commander of Bosnia's
Serbs, agreed to a cease-fire early this week. Whether that
amounted to a real military pause just short of the goal--or
a ploy--remained to be seen.
