Nato Oks Reduced Force In Bosnia

NATO defense ministers gave the final go-ahead Tuesday for a reduced U.S.-led force to keep the peace in Bosnia over the next 18 months, one that officials said would be even less likely to go after indicted war criminals there than its 60,000-strong predecessor was.

The peacekeepers were not a police force, NATO’s secretary general, Javier Solana, said; “Therefore it is not going to be chasing war criminals.”
