Porth Usia安全事务通讯员华盛顿 -  8月25日美国和平任务的负责人呼吁波斯尼亚塞尔维亚人参加和平进程“不要试图摧毁它”。欧洲和加拿大事务助理国务卿理查德·霍尔布鲁克(Richard Holbrooke)是美国代表团负责人,该代表团将于8月27日离开,继续在巴尔干地区寻求和平,警告说,如果波斯尼亚塞族人拒绝成为和平进程的一部分,将会有”后果“他们不会“希望看到发生”。在国务院的一份简报中,他还说,尽管有一个很小的“机会之窗”可以在该地区实现和平,但和平努力将失败,还有一个更大的“危险之窗”。霍尔布鲁克指出,塞尔维亚总统斯洛博丹·米洛舍维奇,克罗地亚总统弗兰霍·图杰曼和波斯尼亚总统阿里贾·伊泽特贝戈维奇都“接受”“五国联系小组的地图”作为“谈判的起点”。他说,但是波斯尼亚塞族人要求地图上有64%的土地。霍尔布鲁克说,正在进行密集的咨询,以利用现有的机会窗口在和平进程前的进步之窗。在8月17日在波斯尼亚发生悲剧性事故之后,他将与一个专家和谈判人员的“重组团队”一起前往该地区,杀害了三名美国官员,他们的贡献对和平努力和和平的伙伴关系至关重要过程。 The new members of the U.S. team of negotiators are: Roberts Owen, senior adviser to Secretary of State Christopher on the former Yugoslavia; Brigadier General Donald Kerrick, director of the Defense Department's National Military Intelligence Center; James Pardew, director of the Secretary of Defense's Balkan Task Force; and Christopher Hill, office director of the State Department's South-Central European Affairs Section. The team will meet first in France with members of the Contact Group; representatives from Spain, Canada, Italy; and Bosnian President Izetbegovic. The mission will continue on to Belgrade around August 29. Holbrooke said the United States, contrary to some press reports, is not supporting partitioning or secession in Bosnia. "We are not going into this negotiation" to participate in the carving up of Bosnia, he said. Citing key goals of the peace mission, he said: -- Bosnia-Herzegovina should remain "a single, internationally-recognized state. -- There should be equal treatment for all ethnic groups "in all of the countries." -- The territorial integrity of Croatia, including eastern Slavonia, should be maintained; -- A regional economic reconstruction effort should be launched once a peace settlement is achieved. -- Humanitarian aid should continue to be provided to help people survive. Holbrooke acknowledged that the peace mission is "an uphill struggle," but he stressed the U.S. commitment to it. The "major obstacle" to peace remains the Bosnian Serbs, he added. Time is of the essence, he explained, because of the "tremendous growth" in the level of violence across-the-board and the coming winter weather which would impede any efforts to withdraw U.N. peacekeepers from the region. State Department acting spokesman John Dinger told reporters that as a result of conflict in Gorazde "several Bosnian government forces were killed." Holbrooke described the situation there as "somewhat murky," indicating that no one wants to see U.N. peacekeepers "firing on and killing Bosnian soldiers." On the subject of the war crimes tribunal, Holbrooke made a point of saying that that process is separate and not affected by the peace negotiations. He made it clear that a war crime of "historic proportions" against humanity occurred this summer when the safe haven of Srebrenica was overtaken. Holbrooke stressed that the rights of all three ethnic groups in Bosnia "should be respected," also noting that a distinction must be made between expulsions and "mass exterminations." In Srebrenica, Holbrooke said, an undetermined number of people -- in the thousands -- "were massacred deliberately." The international community, he said, must distinguish between "bad things and really bad things: between acts which are a horrible consequence of war...and war crimes against humanity." Asked about the effect of congressional legislation calling for the U.S. unilateral lifting of the Bosnian arms embargo, Holbrooke stressed that it would "absolutely undermine whatever chance we have for successful negotiations" and is "deleterious to the cause of peace." He also noted that he is trying to "work out" a trip to Athens for consultations with Greek officials. He had been scheduled to travel to Crete earlier in the month, but the plans were disrupted due to the deaths of the U.S. diplomats in Bosnia. NNNN
