UN warns of new crisis in Bosnia - BBC News

After a brutal war and genocide that claimed about 100,000 lives and displaced more than two million people, it was hoped that an international peace agreement would allow Bosnia to begin healing from the wounds of conflict.

Twenty-seven years ago this week leaders of the three main communities agreed a set of principles that would form the basis of the Dayton peace agreement of 1995.

Now, the UN has warned of renewed crisis as Bosnian Serbs who launched the original war in 1992 are threatening to secede from the country.
