"We talked about Sarajevo. Regarding to difficulty in the peace plan's implementation in the Bosnian capital, the Bosnian delegation stressed that Serbs who had lived there before the war should remain and they are guaranteed all international rights. But all expelled non-Serb citizens must return to their homes in the temporarily Serb-held four Sarajevo municipalities of Ilidza, Vogosca, Ilijas and Hadzici," Ganic said after the talks. "War criminals must be tried and punished," he added. As a considerable progress in our conduct, we emphasized that we would pass an amnesty act, Ganic said.
