    There is no need for European countries to grapple with the intractable 
    task of absorbing millions of Muslims from Bosnia. There is ample room 
    for both them and province's Croats and Serbs inside Bosnia. A 
    political solution - a pre-condition for the Muslims' return and an end 
    to fighting - is now possible; ... 

    Izetbegovic's objective of creating a fundamentalist Muslim Bosnia 
    allied to Croatia is contradiction in terms. Croatian nationalism has 
    always sought a Greater Croatia embodying Bosnia and fundamentalism 
    never enjoyed the support of all Muslims. Izetbegovic's dream of a 
    "Bosnian Pakistan" has become a nigtmare. Clearly, the Muslims come to 
    terms with the Serbs. ... 

    Agreement on Bosnia will be possible only if the Croats concede 
    autonomy to the Serb-inhabited Marches which separate Croatia from  the 
    Bosnia, now under the control of Serb militias. So far, President 
    Tudjman has attempted to avoid this by double dealing - promising the 
    Muslims help against the Serbs to maintain Bosnia's integrity, while at 
    the same time annexing larger areas de facto. Comunist-style repression 
    in his one-party state will not silence calls for peace. 

    The time is therefore ripe for a political solution based on the status 
    quo. There is no alternative but to find a peace settlement which meets 
    legitimate Serb needs for equality inside Bosnia as part of single 
    Serbian nation. ...

    The Croat and Serb populated areas of Bosnia should be linked with 
    Croatia and Serbia respectively, with open borders. Alternatively, 
    Croat majority areas in western Herzegovina and in Sava Valley, which 
    contain most of Bosnia's Croats, could be annexed to Croatia, as Croats 
    have been demanding on and off for decades. In return, Croatia would 
    abandon its claims on Bosnia and cease interfering there, letting Serbs 
    and Muslims work out their own salvation.  ...

    The right of return for all refugees and restoration of their property 
    is an essential part of a lasting peace. However, families who no 
    longer feel safe in their old surrounding should be able to sell their 
    homes, farms or businesses and move to live among their own kind 
    elsewhere in Bosnia. Having played so large a part in precipitating the 
    problem, the EC should set up  a revolving fund, to purhase migrant's 
    property and re-sell it to imigrants from other parts of Bosnia. This 
    would save recurring humanitarian aid, which generates dependency. 
    Bosnian Muslims would re-adjust, whereas if they were long term refuges in
    Europe they would become a festering sore and seedbed for terrorism. ..."
