BELGRADE, April 5 (Hina) - Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica
and UN Mission chief to Kosovo, Hans Hekerup, on Thursday pointed
out the normalisation of life in this Yugoslav province meant
elections and the passing of a temporary "constitutional
arrangement", as well as the return of a certain number of non-
Albanian refugees.
After the talks in Belgrade Kostunica confirmed his country was
prepared to participate in the drawing up of a temporary
constitutional arrangement for Kosovo, for which Hekerup said
would not step out of the framework of the UN Resolution 1244 on
Kosovo.
He expressed wish that Serbs participate in electoral preparations
and institutional bodies.
Hekerup also asserted Serb refugees could for the moment only
return to Serb enclaves for reason of safety.
The Mission chief was met by a group of about 200 family members of
missing Kosovo Serbs who asked him to demand Kosovo Albanians to
release their loved ones.
Kostunica on Wednesday night received a delegation of families of
missing Serbs who demanded of him to see that imprisoned Albanians
not be released from prisons until light is shed on the whereabouts
of the missing Serbs.
Before Hekerup arrived, Kostunica promised them he "will not even
allow the issue of imprisoned Albanians in Serbia to be mentioned
until at least one missing Serb is found".
His utterance was today harshly decried by the Serbian Helsinki
Committee for human rights, saying Kostunica "is suggesting an
extremely immoral idea to trade people."
