Unfortunately the Bosnian Serbs have not yet agreed to be part of this peace process. We hope

Criminal Code   is no different than inciting people to kill Jews, Catholics or Muslims. Social hatred, in its expression and in its effects, is akin to universal hatred.

They have protected the lives of 30,000 Muslims for a long period of time under extremely difficult circumstances. I am very happy to report to the House that they are out of there. I also want
