a union of Bosnian Moslems and Croats.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile the talks to hold peace went on, U-N troops were on guard in the capital as snipers took random shots on passers-by in the infamous \"snipers alley.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFrench U-N soldiers watched the firing from behind an armoured car  but their days in Sarajevo might be numbered.\u003cbr/\u003eFrance has threatened  it will withdraw its 24-thousand man peacekeeping force if the truce was not extended. \u003cbr/\u003eExplosions and skirmishes picked up around the city as the envoy's mission for peace appeared doomed to fail.\u003cbr/\u003eAt Bosnian Serb army  front line positions in the mountains east of Sarajevo, the situation was tense.\u003cbr/\u003eA rebel soldier looked at his watch when it turned noon local time (1000 gmt) - the official end of the ceasefire.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bosnian Serb forces were ready to recommence the war.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter meetings with the warring parties, Akashi confirmed that neither side would agree to continue the truce.\u003cbr/\u003eHe held a press conference with Bosnian government  Vice President Ejup Ganic and Bosnian Ambassador to the U-N Muhamed Sacirbey about the situation:\u003cbr/\u003e\"The extension of the agreement on the cessation of hostilities is unlikely to be realised. - We also discussed the airport question which was high on my agenda, yesterday afternoon Pale with Bosnian Serb leadership, I regret to tell you still we have not been able to persuade them to agree to resume humanitarian flights for UNPROFOR resupply flights.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION:  U-N Special Envoy Yasushi Akashi\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bosnian government had told Akashi that extending the truce was the equivalent of their sanctioning Serb occupation of Bosnian territory.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Ganic said the government would only use force to defend its population:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We will continue to exercise maximum restraint on our part, we are not in the mood to take offensive action.

You may think this is drama, but this shell was fired only a few hundred feet from where we came down Mt. Igman road. This is not an innocent shell, it took the legs off a woman. Frankly that woman may have died up on that road if we didn't come by and hear her cry for help, crying for help. As I understand it Mount  Igman road is supposed to be open, it is the lifeline of Sarajevo, it is within the exclusion zone of Sarajevo. This shell was fired within the exclusion zone at another target in the exclusion zone. We all know what the proper response to that is. I tell my colleagues in the U-N security council from the perspective of New York an exclusion zone is supposed to be the next best thing to Eden. This is not Eden.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Muhamed Sacirbey, Bosnian Ambassador to the U-N\u003cbr/\u003eAkashi also met Monday with Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic in his stronghold of Pale.\u003cbr/\u003eKaradzic told him the Bosnian Serbs wanted sanctions against them to be lifted.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is our question whether the international community rather has a peace here or the sanctions.
