Description

Des Fahy reports on the opening of the London conference on the future of the former Yugoslavia with delegates from all the factions present for the first time. Includes excerpts from opening speeches by UK Prime Minister John Major offering economic help for those willing to stop fighting and negotiate but sanctions and isolation for those who do not and saying the UN and EC will now work together; UN Secretary General Dr Boutros Boutros-Ghali says the UN agenda must not be set by the extent of media coverage a specific crisis generates.
