The Bosnian government and the Bosnian Serb army on Sunday (29/10)
exchanged prisoners at Sarajevo airport. Reporters who witnessed
the swap said nine Bosnian soldiers were released in exchange for
10 Serbs. The original deal had been for 10 Bosnians to be freed
in exchange for 11 Serbs. But the Serbs refused to release one
officer and the Bosnians decided to retain one Serb prisoner.

programme, saying the release was part of the ceasefire agreement
but he was scared such actions would be suspended for two reasons
-- the serbs had failed to account for thousands of men from the
fall of srebrenica, and also that there was apparently new massive
killings of muslims and new concentration camps in bosnian-serbs
held areas in northern bosnia.
