Today, it’s back to the draw ing board. “The (Cold) War is over. Be ware of the peace,” former Soviet F'oreign Minister Eduard She vardnadze said ruefully Tuesday at the conclusion of a 52-nation summit that was supposed to diffuse tensions in Europe. Shevardnadze, now president of Georgia, a former Soviet re public wracked by ethnic vio lence, told the session that Euro peans were “living through such a frightening peace.” His Czech counterpart, Va clav Havel, said, “The birth of a new and genuinely stable Euro pean order is taking place more slowly and with greater difficul ty and pain than most of us ex pected five years ago.” Their comments provided a bitter ending to the summit of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Both were prominent in the up heavals transforming the conti nent since the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall. The summit was intended to strengthen the CSCE — the only organization drawing together the United States, Canada, all European nations and former Soviet republics. The goal was to give it enough muscle so it can try to resolve conflicts before they de velop into full-blown wars, such as in Bosnia, not far from this elegant Central European capital. In a hesitant step forward, the nations offered to provide their first peacekeeping mission to police the disputed Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan. They also agreed on a series of measures intended to give the group a higher profile, including changing its name to Organiza tion for Security and Coopera tion in Europe. The underlying strategy, pushed by the United States and other Western nations, is to sta bilize Europe by bolstering its organizations and creating strong links between its eastern and western halves. The NATO military alliance and the European Union intend to admit Poland, Hungary and others — but probably not much before the turn of the century. Russia, an unlikely candidate for membership in either NATO or the EU, would be drawn clos er through special partnerships and through the CSCE. But the animosities displayed by some countries at the summit underscored the conflicts rooted in decades-old ethnic rivalries and hatreds. “The very idea of the common European House is nearly dead and being consumed by the fires of numerous conflicts and wars,” said Shevardnadze. Bosnia’s president, Alija Izetbegovic, could not contain his disdain for a world he said had turned a blind eye to the death of thousands of his people. The meeting, intended as a showcase of East-West harmony, also harked back to the super power rivalries of old. Russian President Boris Yeltsin railed against the United States for trying to keep it out of the exclusive NATO club President Clinton tried!) fer soothing words. NATOs pansion, even if up to Russ borders, would mean mores; rity for all, he said. The logic was lost on YA His government fears dimir: ing influence and isolatioi the continent’s eastern edge.
