Meeting in the mountain resort of Jahorina, the Bosnian Serb Assembly has made it clear it is strongly opposed to the parts of the Dayton peace accord which relate to Sarajevo.
Delegates said they would oppose by peaceful means the deal which gives control of Serb areas of the city to the Bosnian Croat federation.
Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic later spelt out his views on Sarajevo, while making it clear he did not want a fight with the Americans.
SOUNDBITE: And I think the international community has made a terrible mistake by unifying forcefully and now it is a divide city. If they have transformed the city into two cities then we would have two neighbouring cities with very good cooperation. We want Serbs to stay. They would stay there if they do not accept Muslim Croat authorities if they have their own authorities. But once they are forced to accept Muslim authorities they would leave, I am afraid. The cabinet is going to be quite different because we preparing for peace. And we want to build up free society, market economy, rule of law and for that we need a new cabinet.
SUPER CAPTION:Radovan Karadzic, Bosnian Serb leader.
The international community has said the accord must be accepted as a whole and cannot be renegotiated.
Later the assembly is due to hear details of a government reshuffle from Karadzic
