Serbia and Montenegro's president apologized for "evil" committed during Bosnia's 1992-95 war, which claimed over 200,000 lives.

Meanwhile, Croatia's former ruling nationalist party called on all ethnic Serb refugees who fled the country during the 1990s war to return and promised a normalization of ties with Serbia.
