From Italy and Bulgaria to Greece and to Turkey. they will have to live with any settlement in the Balkans for decades to come. I do not underestimate the difficulties involved. but should Milosevic balk. we will retain the ability to apply military pressure and continue to apply military pressure from the air. Once a settlement is reached. an international force may be necessary to assist the refugee return and to oversee reconstruction. We should be more flexible about the makeup of this force than we have been in the past. Rather than making its composition a nonnegotiable end in itself. we should bear in mind that the international force is the means to an end.
