7-8 December OSCE meeting

FOREIGN ministers of the EU, the former Soviet states, the United States and Canada tried to agree on a strategy for implementing the peace agreement in Bosnia. But there was disagreement among the 53 delegations over who should head the peace implementation office in Sarajevo of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and be responsible for the civilian aspects of the peace process. The OSCE must prepare Bosnian elections, monitor human rights in the region and introduce an arms control regime. The US nominated American diplomat Robert Frowick as OSCE mission chief.
