Glum signals from Serbia

Article Abstract:

Divisions within the Serbian government do not appear to be severe enough to lead to a settlement with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Deputy prime minister of Serbia, Vuk Draskovic, has been sacked after claiming that the leader, Slobodan Milosevic, would accept a deal from the United Nations Security Council. Other Serbian politicians have suggested that a compromise may be possible, but it is unlikely that there would be agreement on NATO forming part of a force remaining in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. NATO, meanwhile, is reluctance to compromise.

Beginners' luck

Article Abstract:

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has deployed verifiers in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, who have inspected mass graves and negotiated truces. They have also negotiated the release of eight soldiers from Yugoslavia. There is to be an increase in the number of verifiers, but the situation in Kosovo could still worsen and revert to war. Weapons are reaching the guerillas from Albania. Diplomacy could help improve the situation, and Yugoslav president, Slobodan Milosevic, is seeking the end of sanctions.

A new cold war?

Article Abstract:

Russian relations with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have become more difficult following NATO's bombing of Serbia. Russia is also concerned about Hungary, The Czech Republic, and Poland joining NATO. Russians are already concerned about Serbia being bombed by NATO, which was an enemy, and an occupation by NATO troops would be a greater affront. Russia could help in finding a solution, perhaps by including Russian troops in a peackeeping force in Kosovo.
