Fighting continued in Bosnia Sunday as allied Bosnian and Croatian troops tried to chip away at Serb-held territory.
Bosnian army forces were taking ground around Donji Vakuf, stepping stone to the bigger town of Jajce.
And Croat troops continued their cross-border attack aimed at pushing back Bosnian Serbs within artillery range of Croatia's historic port town of Dubrovnik.
Croats forces along the frontline close to Dubrovnik began a cross-border attack Sunday toward the Serb-held town of Trebinje, 25 kilometres (15 miles) east in southern Bosnia.
If the assault is successful, the Serbs would be dislodged from Trebinje.
This would put Dubrovnik out of range to all but the Serbs' most powerful guns for the first time since the city was threatened with destruction in 1991 and 1992.
Meanwhile in central Bosnia, government troops inched forward while rebel Serbs struggled to stabilise their frontlines and cope with a wave of refugees.
The Bosnian troops are said to have taken ground around Donji Vakuf, on the frontline between the government's Muslim forces and Bosnian Serb troops.
The UN believes they are trying to cut a main road.
If captured, Donji Vakuf could serve as a stepping stone to the bigger Serb community of Jajce.
And from there, to the Bosnian Serb stronghold of Banja Luka.
