Croatia threatened with military intervention should Bosnia hold referendum

Croatian prime minister Jadranka Kosor is trying to ease tension after president Stjepan Mesic threatened to send military troops into Bosnia should Bosnia hold a referendum on independence. Later, Mesic softened his stance by calling his remark "a political message and not a declaration of war".

Bosnian Serb premier Milorad Dodik has threatened to hold a referendum in February, openly challenging support for the Dayton peace agreement.
