Скачать или смотреть YUGOSLAVIA/BOSNIA - Closed Border And Karadzic

(8 Aug 1994) Sremska Raca, normally the busiest border crossing between Serbia
and Bosnia, was quiet on Monday (8/8), four days after Yugoslavia
closed the border and severed ties with Bosnian Serbs. Since
August 4, when the Yugoslav government decided to break off its
economic and political ties with the Bosnian Serbs, only shipments
of goods such as food, clothing and medicine, exempted from the
decision, were to be allowed to enter Bosnia. The crossing at
Sremska Raca is clear, there are no queues of trucks and cars and
long lines of parked vehicles. Truck drivers have parked their
trucks three kilometres away from the border and wait there to see
if the situation will change.

Meanwhile, Serbian orthodox Church Patriarch Pavle met in Pale with Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic. The meeting lasted for three hours, and Patriarch Pavle said afterwards: "We are here in a mission of peace, just like St Sava did in his time. Our christian duty is to do our utmost to bring the brothers together."
