(ON THE RECORD UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED)
Q: The last one. Do you have anything on Bosnia? There are some
tensions in Brcko today and some fighting between Serbs and Muslims,
and the local police and US peacekeepers are --
MR. BOUCHER: Let's see what's going on in Bosnia. In Brcko, there was
an incident of stone throwing between Serb and Bosnian students at a
school in Brcko yesterday. American troops went to the school, but it
appears the exchange died down on its own. Of course we deplore the
intolerance shown by students, and such behavior has no place in what
we would see as an emerging democratic state in Bosnia.
