Pledl On Monday afternoon, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students and faculty were provided a glimpse into the complexity of the events now taking place in what used to be Yugoslavia at a forum in the Wisconsin Room. Although there were many opinions heard, the most heated comments came from audience members, not the panelists, who were UWM faculty members Dr. Donald Pienkos, Dr. Abbas Hamdani and Dr. Neal Pease. Those in attendance were vocal, especially during the question and answer period which quickly became a forum for the opinions of whoever had the floor at a given time. There were few questions asked. The presentations of the panelists which kicked off the event were primarily aimed at outlining the historical events that brought the region to where it is now. According to Dr. Pease, Professor of Eastern European History, this is not the first time that there has been a Bosnian v^»JW< crisis. As far back as 1875, as the Ottoman Turkish Empire crumbled, Bosnia-Herzegovina came under the occupation of the Austrian Empire, and, he said, a larger conflict was avoided.
