Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that, unless the authorities and military forces conducting military operations against the Republic of Croatia immediately comply with the terms of the ceasefires previously negotiated by the European Community, United States policy should be to: (1) recognize the Republics of Slovenia and Croatia as independent states; (2) freeze all assets in the United States in which the Republic of Serbia has any interest and break off all commerce or any form of assistance or cooperation between the United States and Serbia; (3) offer humanitarian assistance to Croatia; (4) place Serbia on notice that continued military action will cause the United States to place this issue on the agenda of the United Nations Security Council as an international act of aggression and call for sanctions; and (5) require of Croatian authorities a clear commitment to protect the rights of Serbs living within Croatia and demand a formal commitment on their part to accept international inspection and, if necessary, arbitration to protect those rights.
