Milosevic: UN should leave Kosovo
BELGRADE, Wednesday -- Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic today accused
international forces in Kosovo of "helping terrorist gangs of Albanian
extremists," saying that the UN mission in Kosovo should leave as soon as
possible. State media quoted the president as saying that Yugoslav Army and
security forces were capable of guaranteeing the safety of all Kosovo
citizens and that this was not only in their interest, but in the interest of
peace and stability in the region. UN forces, said Milosevic, were obviously
taking their orders from the US Administration. The only response to this, he
added was the consistent policy of peace and equality supported by Yugoslavia
and most countries in the world. Milosevic also described the Yugoslav Army
as being combat ready, emphasising that the military forces were a reliable
factor in the defence of the country's territory and independence and the
freedom of its people.
Russia to veto UN mission if attacks in south Serbia continue
BELGRADE, Wednesday -- Russia will veto the continuation of the UN mission in
Kosovo if terrorist attacks by Kosovo Albanians in south Serbia continue, the
head of a delegation from the Russian Duma, Aleksandar Shabanov, said today.
Shabanov said if KFOR did not prevent the infiltration of terrorists into
south Serbia, Russia would regard this as a new aggression and demand a new
agreement.
Milosevic ready for Montenegrin coup: Burzan
SPLIT, Wednesday -- Yugoslav Prime Minister Slobodan Milosevic has already
prepared a coup in Montenegro, Deputy Montenegrin Prime Minister Dragisa
Burzan said today. In a statement to Split daily Slobodna Dalmacija, said
that the Montenegrin government had done all it could to prevent open
conflict. However, he added, if Milosevic chose that course, the southern
republic would be unable to avoid it. Burzan went on to say that the Yugoslav
president would find himself in a confrontation with the whole of Montenegro
and would be defeated in such a conflict, even without the support of NATO.
