KOSOVO ALBANIAN POLITICIANS SAY NATO DECISIONS ENCOURAGING

( Editorial: --> 1079 ) PRISTINA, June 14 (Hina) - Kosovo Albanian politicians believe NATO decisions are clear and encouraging and hope this time will prove effective. According to Fehmi Agani, head of the Kosovo Albanian negotiation team, the aim of a NATO military intervention threat in Yugoslavia is to force Yugoslav authorities in Belgrade to serious discussion with Kosovo Albanians. If the Serbian side accepts our proposal to cease all military and political operations, we will guarantee a cease-fire by Albanian groups, Agani said Sunday. The president of the Kosovo Parliamentary Party Adem Demaci said the international community has finally grasped how serious the situation in Kosovo is and that it was the final moment to prevent another tragedy like the one in Bosnia from happening. Demaci believes the NATO and Contact Group decisions will force Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to stop the aggression in Kosovo, but fears Milosevic will, as before, try to skip international obligations and stall the solution of the crisis which, Demaci says, could have even more tragic consequences.
