The ink was hardly dry on a Crost-Moslem agreement signed in Washington on Friday when Karadzic said international trade sanctions against rump-Yugoslavia must be lifted for the Serbs to make peace in Bosnia. "We..... are ready to sign a peace agreement at any time but we expect that all three sides would be treated equally, which inclu- des the issue of the lifting of the sanctions," the Belgrade -based news agency Tanjug quoted Karadzic as saying. A senior Karadzic aide, Momcilo Krajisnik, echoed Serb calls for "equal treatment" on Saturday, saying a recent Serb offer to open the airport of the besieged Moslem enclave of Tuzla was conditional on the presence of Serb officials, along with Russian observers, there. "Tuzla airport must have the same treatment as Sarajevo air- port, which is on the Serb side yet is controlled by Moslem offi- cers," he said. Karadzic announced after talks in Moscow earlier this month that Serb forces would allow Tuzla airport -- closes since the be- ginning of the Bosnian war -- to open provided Russian monitors and a Serb team made sure relief flights did not carry weapons. U.N. Trade Sanctions The United Nations imposed tough trade sanctions almost two years ago on rump Yugoslavia -- made up of the former Yugoslav republics of Serbia and Montenegro -- for its backing of ethnic Serbs in the Bosnian war. Banning all trade with Yugoslavia and freezing its assets abroad, the sanctions were meant to persuade Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic to stop supporting his Bosnian kin and help work towards a settlement in Bosnia. But even as Croats and Moslems signed their federation pact Minggu Pon, 20 Maret 1994 Bali Post English Corner U.S. Needs To Rethink China Strategy, Bentsen Says Honolulu, Hawaii - The United States needs to rethink its strategy for dealing with China so as to avoid an economic rupture that would only end up hurting both sides, U.S. Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen said. "I don't like to see these coun- tries having this kind of confron- tation," Bentsen told reporters Friday before the start of the first ever gathering here of finance ministers from the Pacific Rim. He suggested that the admi- nistration needed to take a more measured approach to dealing with China that keeps pressure on Beijing to correct alleged human rights abuses but stops short of totally revoking the country's trading privileges if it does not comply. Bentsen did not spell out speci- fically what he had in mind. But some analysts believe Washing- ton should adopt a more subtle strategy to dealing with Beijing, using the threat of selected and limited trade sanctions to encou- rage the country to improve its human rights record. "My history is trying to work out these kinds of compromises and not be totally arbitrary to one set point of view," Bentsen said. His suggestion of the need for new approaches for dealing with China came after what was wi- dely seen as a disastrous trip to Beijing last week by U.S. Secre- tary of State Warren Christopher. Christopher's call China flatly rejected Christop- her's calls that it improve its human rights record, all but da- ring the United States to go ahead with its threat to revoke China's most favoured nation trading status when it's up for re- newal in the middle of this year. The two countries are at log- gerheads over U.S. calls that China treat its own citizens bet- ter- demands that Beijing has angrily rejected as meddling in its internal affairs. Washington has threatened to revoke China's MFN privileges if Beijing doesn't comply -- a move economists say would hurt both nations. Bentsen agreed, and said that the United States needed to look at other ways of pressing China to improve its human rights re- cord that stop short of withdre- wing MFN. "We have to explore alternati- Lloyd Bentsen. ves to see if we can't work this out to keep some pressure to try to help so far as human rights but not find ourselves disengaging," he said. "From an economic stan- dpoint that hurts both our countries." China enjoys a $20 billion plus annual trade surplus with the United States and loss of MFN would be a major blow. The World Bank estimates that Chinese ex- ports to the United States could drop by as much as 96 percent if Washington cut off its trading privileges. U.S. Move's cost But the move would not be wit- hout its cost to the United States, all but severing America's ties to the world's fastest growing eco- nomy that's sure to be an increa- singly major consumer of foreign goods in the years to come. Bentsen arrived here Friday to host a two-day meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economi Coopera- tion Forum.

Serb-Croat talks on the Krajina region, a flashpoint of tension in former Yugoslavia, are scheduled to begin under Russian sponsorship in the Croatian capital of Zagreb next Tuesday. Russian Shuttle Diplomacy Agreement to discuss the issue stemmed from shuttle diplo- macy by Russian special envoy Vitaly Churkin, whose peace ef forts have been coordinated with the United States. Churkin will be hosting the talks at the Russian embassy in Zagreb. Croatian President Franjo Tudjman said after signing the Washington agreement he might possibly support lifting the san- ctions on Belgrade if the Serbs gave up territorial claims on Kra- jina, which takes up roughly a third of Croatia.
