On the edge of the knife

Article Abstract:

Serbia rejects an agreement giving autonomy to Kosovar, and this means that air strikes could be carried out by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Slobodan Milosevic is Yugoslav president, but effectively heads Serbia, the main region in Yugoslavia. He is gambling that air strikes will not be carried out and has sacked generals who had given the advice that he should compromise and agree to a ceasefire. He may hope that only a few installations in remote areas will be hit by NATO, allowing support to develop for himself, and opposition to develop against the US.

The West versus Serbia

Article Abstract:

Aircraft from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have begun to bomb Serbia over the issue of conflict in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, in a move that could have dangerous consequences. The Yugoslav government has warned neighboring countries not to become involved, and the armed forces have been purged, while opposition to the government has been silenced. The president of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, will be supported by fellow Serbs, who have been exposed to propaganda. There is concern over what could occur in Kosovo itself during the conflict.

Stumbling into war

Article Abstract:

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has attacked Serbia, the first attack against a sovereign nation for behavior against its people. This sets a dangerous precedent, and the air attacks may be inadequate unless ground troops are involved. The aim is to prevent ill-treatment of Albanians in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, while ensuring that Yugoslavia does not break up, but it is unclear whether this aim will be achieved. There are dangers that the conflict could spread, and failure could damage NATO.
