Talking points on Serb Radar Net
One of the basic premises of the partial sanctions suspension is
that Belgrade will not provide military support to Pale.
We have reason to believe that, in fact, the Belgrade Serb radar
system is used to provide air surveillance information to the Bosnian
Serb military, which information is then available for their use for
air defense purposes against aircraft carrying out UN-authorized
missions over Bosnia.
(If asked for evidence: Specifically, voice transmissions on a
high frequency (HF) radio wave system are used to pass information
of this character.)
Thus, Belgrade, through the passage of air surveillance
information, is providing to Pale military support of the most
fundamental kind — current operational intelligence.
This is particularly serious as it threatens aircraft and their
crews engaged in enforcing UN mandates, notably the NFZ, and
standing ready to provide CAS to UN peacekeeping forces.
\
-The US therefore believes that it is an essential condition of "7
4UrYt^^ extension of the ^euffeat} sanctions relief that Belgrade agree to take )
effective action during the next extension period to cease providing
air surveillance information to the Bosnian Serbs and confirm to the
UN that such information is not being provided [by nny mrnn';?

viewed as a s e r i e s of graduate steps appropriate
use of a i r
power under e f f e c t i v e command and control arrangements, could
deliver a clear and painful p o l i t i c o - m i l i t a r y deterrent to the
Bosnian Serbs.
A phased, m i l i t a r i l y effective, response affords a means
of controlling the o v e r a l l situation and of ensuring that
p o l i t i c a l approval i s given before resort to an expanded a i r
campaign throughout B-H.
Such an expanded campaign could be
perceived by the Bosnian Serbs as a declaration of war against
them and therefore the end of UNPROFOR's current mandate and
mission.
