Predictions for Balkans have never been worse: If they come true, complete chaos is threatening us!

The document addressed to Tony Lake on three pages has "purified topics of conversation" which were prepared ahead of the meeting with Izetbegovic.

Among other things, he should point out at the meeting that there was no agreement, but only to support the views of Richard Holbrooke, who was authorized by US President Bill Clinton for negotiations. Since there was only few hours left, he came in the name of the president to make final steps for the peace.

They state that Clinton fully supported Izetbegovic's requirements for a unified state, effective state government and the return of refugees. They were deeply grateful for the political risk faced by Izetbegovic as they will have to justify the people's peace plan.

- If an agreement is reached, the President of the United States is ready to help convince people that the peace achieved in Dayton was correct - stated among other things in the secret writings.

The proposal on the division of the territory is not perfect, but it allows more than 51 percent, which is the best possible deal. The continuation of the conflict will bring new victims without a guaranteed outcome. They say that the time for peace.

The document points out that it should be said to Izetbegovic that the President Clinton is aware of the difficulty of the negotiations, but he was disappointed because after 16 days, there was no agreement. Then, on the last page, allegations are listed which will be used "If necessary, to be decided at the time of meeting".

Six points have been listed:

1. If your government does not want to accept a peace agreement that Serbs not accept and one that is supported by the Contact Group, there won't be:

- United States forces in the field,

- Implementation of NATO, and

- Economic aid and reconstruction assistance.

2. Congress will not approve, nor can we ask them, the program for the equipment and training from the US

3. Furthermore, UNPROFOR will withdraw. Bosnia could find itself without any military support from the West, and with no formal support

4. If this process is not completed in a satisfactory manner in Dayton, in the next phase of meetings will be held in Paris or elsewhere. The United States will be far less able to influence the outcome, and it will be at the expense of Bosnia.

5. Much is at stake for you, Bosnia, the United States and the President. We urge you to carefully consider Dayton and prospects for the future after peace in Bosnia with the support of the United States and the international community.

6. A very good result is at hand; do not let it slip away.
