The war in the Balkans has been going on for more than five years now, ever since the break up of the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia. While other countries in the Eastern Europe managed to separete in a peaceful way, the strive for soveriegnty ignited ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia. While other countries in the Eastern Europe managed to separate in a peaceful way, the strive for sovereignty ignited ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia. The war resulted from the different perceptions of the states about their future; as Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia were strong supporters of independence, the more powerful Serbs believed in maintaining the federation by any means possible. After the war ignited many attempts toward peaceful resolution were made but unsuccessfully. UN's UNOPROF was one of those missions whose presence was ineffective.
These pages are to focus in depth about the basis of the conflict and attempts by UN and the US to stop the violence in the region. In our believe, clear understanding of the problem and of past negotiations, is essential for future success of mediations and coming to the right conclusions.
