Unknown Date:
The U.S. will send another 7,500 troops to Bosnia because no real peace has been established yet. U.S. troops in Bosnia seized and blew up hundreds of automatic weapons found at a government army depot in one of the de-militarized zones.

Unknown Date:
President Clinton and his supporters have been moving towards keeping half of the troops in Bosnia for another year. This extension has caused much criticism from his opponents. Statements are made by President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State William Perry, and Senator Dan Coats.

Unknown Date:
Garrick Utley reports on the first year after the signing of the Dayton agreement. Drazen Erdemovic is the only war criminal to face sentencing in the Tribunal. Out of the 74 indicted criminals, only eight have been arrested. The International Peacekeeping Force in Bosnia knows who the indicted criminals are, but continues to refuse to arrest them out of fear of an armed conflict. People in Bosnia are unhappy with the lack of progress of the tribunal. They feel that there is no justice being done for the crimes committed. Former War Crimes Prosecutor Richard Goldstone and two Bosnians give statements. Footage included: Zoran Petrovic-Pirocanac footage of killed men taken after the fall of Srebrenica, empty jail cells in the Hague, and a mass grave being dugout.
