NATO suspends major air campaign against Bosnian Serb positions

After two weeks of NATO strikes in Bosnia (Operation Deliberate Force), NATO announced a suspension of the air campaign following Bosnian Serb indications of compliance with demands to withdraw heavy weapons from around safe areas.

The suspension marked a turning point in international pressure on Bosnian Serb forces and helped create conditions that led to intensified diplomatic efforts culminating in the Dayton peace negotiations.
