THE WEEK, Page 21WORLDYugoslavia Expelled
The U.N. ousts Belgrade to stiffen its demands for peace in
Bosnia
Only two republics -- Serbia and Montenegro -- remain in what
Belgrade continues to call Yugoslavia, and the U.N. General
Assembly is having none of it. The Assembly voted 127 to 6 to
oust the truncated federation. In order to reclaim U.N.
membership, it will have to reapply as a new nation and gain
approval from the Security Council. And to do that, so-called
Yugoslavia will have to prove it has stopped supporting Serbian
militias in Bosnia and is working to restore peace.
Before the vote, Yugoslav Prime Minister Milan Panic had
asked the Assembly to hold off the expulsion to give him some
leverage in his power struggle with "militant nationalists" in
Belgrade. Diplomats said they accepted Panic's good intentions
but doubted his ability to deliver.
Fighting continued in Bosnia, and a badly shaken young
Muslim man told correspondents in Zagreb that he had survived
a massacre of more than 200 Muslims by Serbs on Aug. 21.
