VIENNA - Irregular session of the Permanent OSCE Council has begun in
Vienna where Ambassadors of 54 countries will discuss the current situation
in Kosovo and possible engagement in the region. The OSCE chairman, Polish
Foreign Affairs Minister Bronislav Geremek called FR Yugoslavia to reduce
police forces in Kosovo. At the session Geremek will submit his proposal
for reducing tensions in this Serbian province. Geremek in his proposal
respects territorial integrity of FRY but is also taking into account
Albanian's requests for wider autonomy.
UZICE - Key fault of the Serbian policy in Kosovo is lack of dialogue
between Serbian and Albanian side - Momcilo Trajkovic, President of the
Serbian Renewal Movement from Kosovo, said yesterday. "Without political
dialogue even state has no legitimacy and that is why the international
community denies justified police actions in fight against terrorism in
Kosovo" - Trajkovic said for Radio-Uzice. He announced a possible meeting
with Serbian President Milan Milutinovic and Bishop of Raska and Prizren
Artemije.
UZICE - The President of Serbian Democratic Party Vojislav Kostunica said
yesterday that "the Contact Group , especially the U.S., have done nothing
to prevent exodus of tens of thousands of Serbs from Eastern Slavonia, but
they are imposing sanctions to Yugoslavia, i.e. to the people who live
there". Contact Group is like "a lost river - appeared in the moment to
solve the B&H question, and in the next moment it is here again for Kosovo
and Metohija".
TIRANA - Albanian Defence Secretary Perikli Teta announced that Albania
would ask for deployment of NATO troops on the border with FRY, in order to
have a control over situation in Kosovo. "NATO troops would have a special
mission to supervise the border in order to prevent arms smuggling"- Teta
said, adding that Albania has done everything to stop smuggling on
the border with Kosovo.
STOCKHOLM - People's Republic of China stopped adoption of a statement of
Security Council where concern over current events in Kosovo has been
expressed. As a permanent member of the Council, China thinks Kosovo
represents an internal matter of Serbia and FRY - a correspondent of the
Swedish state Radio reported from New York.
