Future looking bleak
for Bosnia's stability
The Associated Press
WELCOME BACK
GGIES!
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Immense war damage and the
threat of chronic political instability leave Bosnia with a bleak future as
the ministate envisioned in an international peace plan.
When peace talks broke down in Geneva last week. President Alija
Izetbegovic asserted Serbs and Croats were refusing concessions that
would make a new, smaller Bosnia economically and politically viable.
Without that, there would be no stability, and without stability,
economists say, there is little hope for the future.
"As a legal, independent, recognized country the new Bosnian re
public has no chance of surviving, " said Ibrahim Colakhodzic, the
economist in charge of the government development program.
As the peace plan now stands, the new Bosnia would cover 31 per
cent of its prewar territory. The Serbs and Croats, who together control
90 percent of the country, would get 52 percent and 17 percent, respec
tively. Sarajevo would come under temporary U.N. administration.
The future Bosnia would include most industrialized parts of the
former Yugoslav republic. But displaced people would nearly double
the population in those areas to around 2 million.
The prewar economy was based on coal mining, electrical genera
tion, steel mills, aluminum foundries, chemical plants and farming. The
section left to the Bosnian government accounted for 29 percent of the
1990 gross national product and about 30 percent of the jobs, Co
lakhodzic said.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Seven Nigerian soldiers were killed in a
militia ambush Sunday as they went to the aid of other U.N. peacekeep
ers surrounded by a mob of stone-throwing Somalis, a U.S. official said.
An unidentified American diplomat attached to the U.S. liaison of
fice in Mogadishu was shot in the chest after he and five colleagues ap
parently stumbled onto the ambush, the official said. The diplomat was
later listed in fair to good condition at an American military hospital.
The U.N. forces later struck back with a helicopter attack in Mo
gadishu, NBC News reported.
The attack on the Nigerians was the deadliest assault on U.N. peace
keepers in Somalia since June, when 24 Pakistani soldiers died. Seven
other Nigerian soldiers were wounded Sunday, and one may have
been captured.
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali de
plored the deaths, and said they demonstrated "the urgent need" to
disarm all of Somalia's factions.
Retired Adm. Jonathan Howe, the U.N. special envoy to Somalia,
called the ambush a "wanton, unprovoked and premeditated attack”
7 desire to pray and forgive'
Pope to settle conflicts
with Russian Church
The Associated Press
VILNIUS, Lithunia - Pope
John Paul II reached out Sunday
to the Russian Orthodox
Church, and
warned
against the
revival of an
cient Euro
pean divi
sions and a
desire to
avenge mod
ern-day op
pression.
On the
second day
of his visit to
John Paul II
this Roman Catholic strong
hold of the former Soviet
Union, the pope also went out
of his way to send greetings to
Moscow.
The pontiff seemed intent on
patching up differences with
the 60-million-member Russian
Orthodox Church, which made
its own gesture by sending an
envoy to Vilnius.
The Russian church has ac
cused the Vatican of overzeal-
ous missionary activity in Rus
sia, dealing a major setback to
the pontiff's goal of a united,
more "Christian" Europe in the
post-Communist era.
The pope began his day Sun
day by paying tribute to
Lithuania's suffering during 50
years of Soviet occupation.
He prayed at the tombs of 18
people killed by tanks and gun
fire during the 1991 uprising
against Soviet power, and laud
ed the quest tor freedom that
"refused to bend before the
dark and relentless waves of a
violence that ignored God and
debased humanity."
But, he added, "I desire to
pray and forgive." Tine tempta
tion for revenge, he said, "al
ways leads into useless
labyrinths of hatred."
The pope warned against
"sinister new adventures, un
dertaken under the blind im
pulse of ideologies, of national
pride and of willful refusal to
acknowledge human dignity."
The pope's words come at a
time of strained relations be
tween Moscow and the former
Soviet Baltic republics of
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
Disputes center on the pace of
Soviet troop withdrawals and
the rights of the ethnic Russ
ian minority, especially in Es
tonia. The pontiff also will vis
it Latvia and Estonia on his
seven-day tour.
Moscow annexed the three
Baltic republics in 1940 in a se
cret agreement with Nazi Ger
many. The Vatican and many
Western countries refused to
recognize the annexation. The
republics regained indepen
dence in 1992 after the Soviet
collapse.
Bronislovas Jankauskas' 22-
year-old son Rolandas was
killed when Red Army tanks
rolled into a crowd of pro-inde
pendence demonstrators out
side the Vilnius TV station on
Jan. 13, 1991. He called the
pope's visit to the cemetery a
"great honor for the dead," but
added: "You cannot forgive
murders, but only murderers."
The pope later celebrated an
open-air Mass in a driving rain,
speaking in Lithuanian, Polish
and Russian to underline the
scope of his message.
