European envoy Carl Bildt, Serbia President Slobodan Milosevic, BSA General Ratko Mladic
Carl Bildt urged the Bosnian Serbs to refrain from military actions in order to give the political negotiations a chance.
The Bosnian Serb Army had been shelling populated civilian areas of Srebrenica, and openly and deliberately attacking UNPROFOR and ARBiH positions.
“Also, in 2001, a report of the French Parliamentary Investigating Commission, which examined the events in Srebrenica, says that states, especially the major powers in 1995, made a choice, and I quote, 'to simplify diplomatic negotiations by clarifying the ethnic map of Bosnia and Herzegovina'. The French report then concludes: ‘None of the countries involved in resolving the Bosnian conflict wanted to save Srebrenica, which does not imply the existence of a conspiracy'.“
