Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz and his 20 ministers are sworn into
office, forming Poland's 7th government since 1989. Mr. Cimoszewicz
replaces Jozef Oleksy,who resigned after being accused of passing state
secrets to Moscow. Although he is not affiliated with any political party,
he intends to pursue his predecessor's push for economic growth and
European integration.</FONT></FONT></P>

Nearly 500,000 Russian coal miners strike for $200 million in back pay and
protest government subsidy cuts in the industry. Most of the money,
however, is owed not by the government but by faltering industries which
cannot pay for the coal they use. The current strike is providing
political ammunition for the Communists—President Yeltsin's strongest
opponents in the June elections. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 3</B>
Moscow ends the coal miners' strike by agreeing to pay $133 million in
back wages.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 8</B>
Saying that Russia had effectively controlled inflation and budget
deficits, the IMF approves a $1.05 billion loan for Russia, the last
portion of a $6.3 billion credit line the agency approved in 1995. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 13</B> The
government bars Russia's only nationwide independent television network,
NTV, from the Kremlin after a derogatory broadcast about President
Yeltsin. The station is owned by Vladimir Gusinsky, a liberal millionaire
who is a critic of the war in Chechnya. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 15</B>
President Yeltsin announces that he will seek reelection in June and
promises to “continue Russia's political and economic reforms.”
At the same time, Mr. Yeltsin's Communist opponent, Gennadi A. Zyuganov,
also announces his nomination, talking about limiting privatization and
restoring Russia as a great power. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 17</B>
President Yeltsin dismisses Oleg Poptsov, the chairman of Russian State
Television, for “lies” and negative programming. Mr. Poptsov had
run the TV network since it was created in 1990 and had often supported
Mr. Yeltsin. The move undermines Mr. Yeltsin's reelection campaign by
raising concerns that he is trying to control the media. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 22</B> The
International Monetary Fund agrees to give Russia a $10.2 billion loan to
carry on free-market reforms. The three-year loan is a boost for President
Yeltsin, who claims that only he in Russia can secure such a loan. (Michel
Camdessus, the IMF managing director, says that the loan will be cut off
if the Communists come to power.) Mr. Yeltsin plans to use $4 billion of
the loan, which will be handed out this year, to increase social spending
before the elections and pay $2.8 billion in back wages. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 23</B> In
an annual address before parliament, President Yeltsin blames his own
government for Russia's problems, attacking corruption, false reforms, and
poor military leadership. He stresses, however, that the toughest economic
problems are behind him and that only he can ensure that reforms will
continue. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 26</B>
Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin agrees with President Yeltsin's
criticism of the government, which failed to protect Russians' living
standards while heading towards market economy, and says that he will “soften
the process of economic reform.” </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>NY Times, Feb.
29</B> The World Bank promises a $500 million loan for the restructuring
of Russia's coal mines (currently employing 800,000 workers), which have
suffered from industrial decline, a subsequent lowered demand for energy,
and structural inefficiencies. Creating a smaller, more viable, and
competitive coal industry is central to Russia's plan to lower spending
and inflation. </FONT></FONT></P>

</I></B></FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 5</B> The
morale of the 40,000 Russian troops stationed in Chechnya declines as they
lack food and sufficient equipment and are mocked by the Chechens. The
soldiers do not wish to fight and want to return home. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 6</B> On
Russian television, Chechen leader Dzhokhar Dudayev accuses the West of
supporting Moscow's war in Chechnya with $6 billion in aid. Ten thousand
anti-war demonstrators rally outside the presidential palace in Grozny.
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 8</B> More
than one thousand protesters who have rallied at the ruins of the
presidential palace in Grozny are surrounded by Russian special forces.
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 9</B> A
bomb explodes among the protesters and kills three Chechens. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 10</B>
Russian troops backed by the local police fire on the protesters. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 11</B>
Protesters are persuaded to leave after reaching a compromise with the
Russians. No details of the agreement are available, however. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 16 </B>Infuriating
local citizens, Russian soldiers demolish the ruins of the presidential
palace—a symbol of Chechen resistance to Russia. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 19</B>
Russian forces shell the Chechen village of Novogroznensky, near the
border with Dagestan, where Chechen rebels have established an underground
headquarters. The shelling began after the rebels fired on Russian
positions outside the village. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 20</B>
Despite President Yeltsin's promise to end the war in Chechnya, Russian
troops step up their attack on Novogroznensky, claiming by day’s end
that the town has been seized and that the rebels have fled. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 21</B>
Contradicting Russian claims that the assault against Novogroznensky was
delayed to allow civilians to flee, Chechen civilians say that they were
fired upon as they fled and that others were trapped in the village.
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 25</B>
Russian troops move into villages in Ingushetia, a republic that borders
on Chechnya, in search of Chechen rebels who might have sought refuge
there (Ingushetia has close ethnic ties with Chechnya). They fire on six
villages, killing civilians. </FONT></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 4</B> Eager
to avoid another civil war, President Emomali Rakhmonov, who installed a
Communist government in Tajikistan after winning a civil war in 1992/93
against democratic and Islamic groups, agrees to demands by rebel army
soldiers that he dismiss corrupt officials and improve the economy. He
fires his Prime Minister, his Chief of Staff, and a southern governor, and
also grants amnesty to the rebels. In exchange, the rebels promise to turn
in their arms and return to their barracks. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 8</B>
Becoming Tajikistan's new Prime Minister, Yakhyo Azimov, a carpet factory
manager, vows to promote economic reform and to cooperate with the IMF and
the World Bank in order to rebuild the economy. </FONT></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 2</B> In
Tuzla, hundreds of women who were driven out of Srebrenica when Bosnian
Serbs took the town last July demonstrate in front of government
buildings, asking about the fate of the more than 8,000 men who have been
missing since then. Some of these men are believed to be alive in Serbian
prison camps. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">The U.N. refugee
agency announces a $5 million project to help reconstruct homes in
Sarajevo in an effort to keep citizens from relocating. An estimated
12,000 Serbs have already left Sarajevo's suburbs, which will fall under
the Muslim-led government's control on March 19th. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 3</B> The
first American peace-force officer is killed after stepping on a land mine
in the U.S.-controlled sector of northern Bosnia. There are over three
million, often poorly marked, land mines throughout Bosnia. To date, nine
NATO soldiers have been killed in Bosnia since the troops arrived in
December. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">Economic recovery in
Bosnia is slow, with industry currently producing at 5% of pre-war levels.
The economy needs $400 million for raw materials, parts, and wages. The
World Bank plans to create 200,000 jobs. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 4</B> In
the Serbian-held suburbs of Sarajevo, the Serbian police, which was to
withdraw on Feb. 10 as part of the transfer to the Bosnian government,
will be allowed to remain for 45 more days if they uphold the laws of the
new Muslim-Croatian Federation. The agreement is an attempt by the U.N. to
keep the 50,000 Serbs in Sarajevo from fleeing the Muslim-dominated
government when it takes control in mid-March. Although the U.N. intends
to send 1,600 unarmed international police monitors to Bosnia to help
create a joint Muslim-Serbian force, only 300 officers have been deployed
so far. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 6</B> After
the Bosnian government arrests eight Serbs, including senior commander
General Dzjordje Djukic—an aide to Gen. Mladic—on suspicion of
war crimes, Bosnian Serbs halt all contact with the government and
threaten to stop the free passage of Muslims through Serbian-held suburbs
if the men are not released. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 7</B> The
U.N. war crimes tribunal asks the Bosnian government to hold two Serbian
officers (including Dzjordje Djukic) for war crimes. Gen. Mladic calls on
Bosnian Serbs to “freeze” all contact with NATO forces. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 9</B>
Bosnian Serb military commanders break all communication with NATO to
protest the imprisonment of their two officers. Gen. Mladic orders Muslims
and Croats to stay out of Serbian-held Bosnia. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">The International
Committee of the Red Cross reports that approximately 700 people—mostly
Croatian and Muslim civilian men—are being held in slave labor camps
in Serbian-held areas of Bosnia. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 10</B> The
Bosnian Serbs ease their stance against NATO and continue military
cooperation at the local commander level. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 11</B>
Bosnian Serb government officials call Gen. Mladic's order to sever ties
with NATO forces invalid, stating that “General Mladic does not speak
for the government.” </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 12 </B>In
an effort to be more compliant with the Dayton Peace Agreement, the
Bosnian government announces that it will no longer arrest people on
suspicion of war crimes without authorization from The Hague. Meanwhile,
the two Bosnian Serb senior officers at the heart of the controversy are
flown to the Netherlands and turned over to the war crimes tribunal.
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>NY Times, Feb.
13</B> Bosnian Croat nationalists see the federation created by the Dayton
Agreement as a “betrayal of values” and a “Government of
Muslims.” In fact, Bosnian Croat politicians believe that Bosnian
Croats need their own state in Bosnia in order to protect their rights.
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 13</B>
After NATO officials in Bosnia complain of a lack of detailed information
regarding suspected war criminals, the U.S. Defense Department announces
that it will supply NATO troops with clearer descriptions of the suspects.
Although Defense Secretary William Perry emphasizes that the U.S. and its
NATO allies are not conducting an organized search, war criminals can be
arrested at NATO checkpoints. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">In a sign of a rift
between Serb and Bosnian Serb leaders, Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic
has agreed to the extraditions of the two Bosnian Serb officers without
informing his Bosnian Serb allies. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 15</B>
Raiding a house near Sarajevo, NATO troops arrest 10 Muslims soldiers—3
of them Iranians who were caught with plans to attack NATO military
buildings—and confiscate weapons. U.S. Secretary of State Warren
Christopher warns that the U.S. will not continue to equip and train the
Bosnian army unless all foreign forces leave Bosnia (under the Dayton
accord, all foreign volunteers were to have left by January 19th). </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">Concerned that the
peace agreement will collapse, U.S. officials call an international
conference in Rome to get the Presidents of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia to
“recommit” to the Dayton Accord. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 16</B>
According to NATO officers, the house they raided on Feb. 15 was a
terrorist training center run under the aegis of the Bosnian government.
The Bosnian government denies the allegations, however, saying that NATO
has misinterpreted what is an anti-terrorist operation being conducted
with the help of foreign experts. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">European and Bosnian
government officials report that regular Croatian soldiers are often
intermingled with Bosnian Croat troops in violation of the Dayton
Agreement. Although Croatia claims that “there are no Croatian troops
or soldiers or even instructors in all of Bosnia,” top officers in
the Bosnian Croat army “are appointed by and are responsible to the
President of Croatia,” a senior Western diplomat says. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 17</B> NATO
Allies meet in Rome with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, Croatian
President Franjo Tudjman, and Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic in an
effort to obtain from the three presidents a “recommitment to Dayton”
and full compliance with the peace agreement. Among issues to be discussed
are refugee and prisoner exchanges, departure of foreign military
volunteers, apprehension of suspected war criminals, and increasing
tensions within the Muslim-Croat Federation. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 18</B> In
Rome, the leaders of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia agree to carry out the
Dayton Accord. They pledge to resume contacts with NATO commanders, to
create on schedule a unified administration for Sarajevo, to insure the
safety of war prisoners and refugees, and to help in the prosecution of
war crimes and human rights abuses. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 19</B> U.N.
officials announce that Bosnian government police officers will move into
Vogosca—the first Sarajevo suburb to undergo the transition to
government control—on Feb. 23, weeks earlier than planned. The police
forces will be under the supervision of 300 U.N. officers who will
accompany them on patrols. Although Bosnian government officials have
sought to reassure the Serbs living there, most of them have now fled.
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 20</B>
While Bosnian Serb leaders are urging Serbs living in Sarajevo to flee
before the Muslim government takes control of the area, NATO and the U.N.
are hoping to persuade the Serbs to stay and to make Sarajevo a
multi-ethnic city again. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 22</B>
Thousands of Bosnian Serbs flee Sarajevo and head toward Pale, the Bosnian
Serbs' headquarters. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">Bosnian President
Alija Izetbegovic is hospitalized for heart problems. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 23</B>
Beginning the reunification of Sarajevo, the Bosnian government takes
control of Vogosca's police station. The new police force, which is
intended to reflect Sarajevo's pre-war ethnic composition, is composed of
16 Muslims, 14 Serbs, and 2 Croats, but most of Vogosca's 17,000 Serbian
residents have now fled, making this suburb a “ghost town.” By
the time all of Sarajevo's suburbs are turned over to the Bosnian
government on Mar. 19, U.N. officials estimate that 60,000 Serbs (nearly
90% of their population) will have left. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3">In an effort to be
elected Bosnian Serb president this fall (despite the Dayton Agreement
which forbids him from seeking office), Bosnian Serb leader Radovan
Karadzic is talking about a project to build a $10 billion city called “Serb
Sarajevo.” The city would stretch from Pale, Mr. Karadzic's
headquarters, to Lukavica, a Serbian-held Sarajevo suburb and would be
home for Bosnian Serbs currently living in Muslim-controlled areas.
</FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 24</B>
Feeling that Serbs in Sarajevo's suburbs are determined to flee, NATO
agrees to allow the Bosnian Serb army to send trucks to transport them.
Until now, NATO had refused to help Serbs leave, because it would have
been a tacit form of “ethnic cleansing.” </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 27</B> The
U.N. and Yugoslavia lift sanctions against the Bosnian Serbs as a reward
for withdrawing their forces from buffer zones set by the Dayton Accord.
(Yugoslavia imposed sanctions 18 months ago on the Bosnian Serbs in order
to try to get its own sanctions lifted by the U.N.; it obtained
satisfaction in November.) </FONT></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN="left"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="3"><B>Feb. 29</B> As
the second Sarajevo suburb of Ilijas is transferred to the Muslim-Croat
Federation control, the Bosnian Muslim government officially declares
Sarajevo's siege over. Only 100 Bosnian Serbs are now left in Ilijas.

Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis is being attacked by his political
opponents for his handling of a crisis with Turkey over a barren island in
the Aegean Sea Greece calls Imia. (The crisis started when a Turkish ship
ran aground on the island, continued with flag plantings by both sides,
and ended with a U.S.-brokered resolution that called for mutual
withdrawal.) Greece has claimed an inalienable sovereignty over the
island. </FONT></FONT></P>

Meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher in Finland,
Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov says that Russia wants to work
closely with the U.S. and has no plan to revive the Soviet Union. Mr.

Saying that the U.N. is “sliding toward bankruptcy,” the top
U.N. financial official tells the General Assembly that 10% of the
permanent staff of over 10,000 will have to be eliminated. The

failure of member-nations to pay their dues on time.</FONT></FONT></P>
