YUGOSLAV, SERBIAN GOVERNMENTS ASK UN RESOLUTION BE IMPLEMENTED

BELGRADE, Oct 23 (Hina) - The Yugoslav and Serbian governments held a session on Tuesday, with Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica present, adopting a declaration on the execution of UN resolution 1224 on Kosovo, and concluding that the final decision on Serbs voting in general elections in Kosovo be made after tomorrow's meeting between Kostunica and the UN Civil Administrator in Kosovo, Hans Haekkerup. The adopted declaration is an attempt to have Haekkerup commit, with an agreement or statement on understanding, to undertake certain steps regarding the position and security of Serbs and non- Albanians in Kosovo, a statement issued after the sessionn read. The declaration's starting point is the principle of Yugoslavia's territorial integrity and Kosovo's self-government, and analyses the situation after 28 months of UNMIK's administration. It concludes that only 126 of the 226,000 exiled Serbs have returned to this southern Yugoslav province during that period. The declaration further states that Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo are being discriminated against by the Kosovo judiciary, and stresses "the unsanctioned usurping of their property" allegedly continues. The Yugoslav and Serbian leadership also claim that the security situation in the southern Yugoslav province is "increasingly worse", and add that "the persecution and killing of Serbs and non- Albanians continue, while Kosovo Albanian parties are promising an independent Kosovo in their electoral campaigns".
