OMRI DAILY DIGEST - No. 239, Part I, 11 December 1995

Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev told journalists that Russia has asked the International Tribunal in The Hague to put its cases against Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic on hold, ITAR-TASS reported on 10 December. Kozyrev also said that the Bosnian Serbs had asked Moscow to make the appeal. Russia called upon the tribunal to carefully re-examine the problem, taking all circumstances and facts into consideration. At the same time, Kozyrev said that Serbia should explain the fate of French pilots downed over Serbia if Belgrade does not want to find itself in international isolation. -- Constantine Dmitriev
