Contents Summary

Margaret Larson interviewed Radovan Karadzic, the leader of the Bosnian Serbs, during his stay in New York for scheduled peace negotiations. Karadzic expresses his desire to get an autonomous region for the Bosnian Serbs, in order to "get out of any possibility for being dominated by the Muslim community." He denies all reports suggesting Bosnian Serb involvement in crimes of mass rape and ethnic cleansing. It is "a big mistake of media to buy this kind of story," says Karadzic. He characterizes the war in Bosnia as "the worst kind of inter-ethnic and inter-religious civilian war." Karadzic comments on his restricted status in the U.S.
