BELGRADE URGES CRACKING DOWN ON TERRORISM, ORGANISED CRIME

BELGRADE, Aug 19 (Hina) - Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Nebojsa Covic said on Tuesday the U.N. Security Council the night before supported measures Serbia's government proposed to resolve the Kosovo crisis and that it would instruct the local U.N. mission and NATO's peacekeepers to "establish security and freedom of movement and energetically crack down on terrorism and organised crime". #L# "In our address (at the Security Council session on Kosovo) it was clearly said that we cannot stop at condemning and expressing regret and condolences. The international community has to re- examine its role in Kosovo," Covic told B92 radio. He expects concrete measures to be taken but said one needed to understand the situation and the difficult problems Kosovo inherited. Talking to Beta news agency today, Serbia and Montenegro Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic said the latest events in Kosovo could be labelled "typical acts of terrorism". The Serbian government's National Security Council will brief representatives of the international community about the situation in Kosovo and the south of Serbia, he said. "We shall ask that people involved in those operations be declared terrorists and that the organisations they are part of be declared terrorist organisations." The U.N. Security Council session on the Kosovo situation held on Monday evening was convened at the request of Serbia and Montenegro following a number of attacks on Serbia and Montenegro troops in the south of Serbia and last week's killing of two Serb youths and the wounding of another four in the village of Gorazdevac.
