You've made two statements, for which I can find no corraboration. Please state a source for these:

1. That "Abdic lost the election to Izetbegovic". All my info says that Fikret Abdic actually won the Bosnian election and even had support from many Serbs, but -- for unknown reasons -- he stood aside and let Izetbegovic take the presidency.

2. That "Handke met with Milosevic". I have found no info, even from Handke's greatest detractors to indicate that Handke and Milosevic ever actually met in life, although it would certainly been easy enough to do if Handke so chose.

Please clarify.

That "Abdic lost the election to Izetbegovic".

I never made such a claim. I believe Abdic withdrew from the election as I pointed out earlier.

Abdic would likely have won the election.

I was under the impression that Handke attended state functions in Belgrade at which Milosevic was present. I can't substantiate that right now with the resources at my disposal.
