The rump Yugoslav state, comprising Serbia and Montenegro, will also be allowed to take part in sporting and cultural exchanges, in an easing of sanctions first imposed in 1992 for helping the Bosnian Serbs in their fight against Bosnia's Moslem-led government.
The report was written by the co-chairmen of the international conference on the former Yugoslavia, Lord Owen of Britain and Thorvald Stoltenberg of Norway, based on the observations of civilian conference monitors who visited all parts of the border and concluded Belgrade was meeting its commitment to close the frontier.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
