Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of National Defence.
Yesterday in Budapest, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that we should give the search for peace in the former Yugoslavia a last chance and that he used the expression "last chance" because he thought an agreement was not far off. Meanwhile, the Bosnian Serbs still refuse to listen to reason and accept the peace plan proposed by the majorpowers, including the United States and Russia.
Could the Minister of Defence tell us what grounds his colleague at Foreign Affairs has for being so optimistic, at a time when the Bosnian Serbs still refuse to accept the peace plan proposed by the contact group?
