Description

The Bosnian Serbs show signs of retaliation tonight, firing shells into the centre of Sarajevo after a fresh wave of NATO air strikes. RAF jets were among those hitting selected targets to try to force the Serbs to withdraw their heavy weapons from around the Bosnian capital. Russia has condemned the move, accusing NATO of taking sides to defeat the Serbs. Correspondent Kurt Schork, joins unidentified male studio reporter on the line from Sarajevo.
