Yeltsin's illness cast doubts on whether he will be able to attend the scheduled meeting with the presidents of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia. A decision is expected tomorrow on whether the Russians will go ahead with the summit, possibly with Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin presiding if Yeltsin is unable to attend. In either case, the meeting will be largely symbolic. The move is designed to quiet Yeltsin's critics in the Russian parliament who say that Russia has been left out of peace negotiations.
