U.N. demilitarizes east Bosnian town The Bosnian Serb and Muslim commanding generals Saturday night signed a United Nationsbrokered accord to demilitarize" the war-battered eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica. The U.N. Security Council voted late Saturday to tighten sanctions against Serb-led Yugoslavia. The new sanctions take effect April 26. The resolution passed 13-0, with Russia and China abstaining. Russia had warned the Serbs Saturday if there was no breakthrough in peace talks, the Kremlin would not veto tougher U.N. sanctions to punish Serb aggression. The cease-fire came after a day of pitched Serb attacks on the outskirts of the Muslim-held "lost city." While Serb armor and infantry forces fought to within a half mile to a mile of Srebrinca's center, other Serbs blocked a convoy of 130 to 150 U.N. peacekeepers from Canada.
