Earlier, Bosnian Serb sources said 1,000 Bosnian Serb civilians had fled a Muslim offensive aimed at securing a strategic road in central Bosnia between Zenica and Tuzla.
Other reports said inter-Muslim clashes continued in the rebel Muslim north-western Bihac pocket. The UN has been struggling to secure compliance with a one-month ceasefire, agreed earlier this month and intended to prepare both sides to accept a long-term peace plan.
