Serb Hard Line

NPR's Martha Raddatz reports from Sarajevo on a change in the leadership among the Bosnian Serbs. Over the weekend, the leader of the Bosnian Serbs, Radovan Karadzic, [RAH-doh-van KARE-uh-jitch] decided to give up dealing with the international community. He appointed Biljana Plavsic [bee-YAH-nah PLAHV-sitch] to act for him. International observers say the change will not make it easier to deal with the Bosnian Serbs. Plavsic is known as a hard-liner who will probably continue Karadzic's policies.
