In other respects, though, a war-tim- e mentality persists in Banja Luka. Elections have returned to power the same who led Serbs to bloodshed four years ago. And they show no signs of backing down. Here, in the northwest corner of Bosnia, tolerance and radicalism coexist side by side, vying for dominance. But economic reality stands to have the greatest influence of all. Local economists estimate that more than half of the 500,000-stron- g Bosnian Serb workforce is jobless, something that can change only if the Bosnian Serb leadership does. Huge infusions of foreign aid are needed to rebuild, but no aid will come unless the ultranation-alist- s commit themselves to a multi-ethnconcept they loathe Bosnia. In Banja Luka, opposition politicians have seized upon this notion. Though they are being some here are intimidated, remarkably sure that the nationalists who preached secession will disappear with the next legislative elections in 998, as harsh poverty takes precedent over burning rhetoric.

Two hundred bodBELGRADE, Yugoslavia ies have been unearthed from a mass grave in eastern Croatia, and the United Nations said today that the evidence suggests most of the victims were hos- pital patients. Yuri Chizhik, the chief U.N. spokesman in Vukovar. said excavations of the Ovcara gravesite ended Friday and all the remains have been transported to the Croatian capital of Zagreb for further examination. "There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that the victims were hospital patients, and there were a lot of bullets discovered at the site," Chizhik said today in a telephone interview. Bits of clothing, casts and other items discovered since international investigators started exca vating the gravesite at the Ovcara pig farm a month ago were consistent with suspicions that many of the victims were Vukovar hospital patients when Serbs captured the town in November 1 99 . Vukovar was the site of some of the bloodiest war of secesfighting during Croatia's sion in which about 10.000 people were killed or disappeared. The Yugoslav army besieged Vukovar for three months before it fell. Unofficial reports have said the victorious Serbs took wounded Croatian males from the Vukovar hospital and executed them at the Ovcara farm. Vladimir Dzuro, spokesman for the tribunal in Vukovar, said Monday that there could be other gravesites in the area because the number of bodies 200 does not corrediscovered in Ovcara of the number with missing hospital patients, spond 261. 1 th Serbs miss election ceremonies Associated Press Writer SARAJEVO, Bosnian Serbs have drawn criticism from Serbia for missing their former aily ceremonies inaugurating Bosnia's new government. Momcilo Krajisnik, the Serb member of the new presidential troika, did not travel to downtown Sarajevo for Saturday's Serb ceremony. swearing-i- n deputies to Bosnia's joint parliament did not show up either. Krajisnik blamed security concerns for his absence, but he also seemed angry over a deal reached Thursday by Alija Izetbegovic chairman of the presidency, and torhnirianc Vwassss know your vehicle better than anyone, wi equip- - iatest diagnostic .7.VA w n ' ijjA i II 10 ci lyn iccicu iui I ii I ment.

The deal established diplomatic relations and effectively put to rest the Bosnian Serb dream of seceding from Bosnia and merging with Serbia. Krajisnik charged that Izetbegovic had no right to sign the deal on his own without the other two members of the presidency. The newspaper Belgrade Vecemji Novosti, which has ties to the Serbian government, said Sunday that the Bosnian Serbs would have to accept the union of the Muslim-Croa- t federation and Serb republic called that makes Republika Srpska up Bosnia. "If they really want to get out of international isolation, Repub- lika Srpska has to do everything to make the.. .union come to life," read a commentary in the Vecernji Novosti newspaper. In Sarajevo, Mirza Hajric, an adviser to Izetbegovic, said the Serbs had made a serious mistake. He urged international officials to punish "those who are trying to obstruct the continuation of the peace process." Krajisnik reiterated his side's willingness to cooperate, but side of accused the Muslim-Cronot taking Serb security concerns into consideration. Serbs, who repeatedly shelled Sarajevo during the war, are wary of entering the city center for fear of retaliation. at . .W.WWY nft awy J I ' n Lincoln-Mercur- With and more competitively priced.
