after the wars of Yugoslavia's destruction began, there was still no peace among the Croats, Yitzhaf
Serbs and Muslims. More than 3 million Bosnians have lost their homes, more than 200,000 Rabin wa~
have been killed and tens of thousands have become refugees. There remains a deep reservoir assassinatec
