KOSOVO SHOULD BECOME A REPUBLIC - ALBANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER

( Editorial: --> 5107 ) PRISTINA, July 2 (Hina) - The best solution for Kosovo is that it become Yugoslavia's third republic, considering the opinions of international and regional factors and other circumstances, Albanian Foreign Minister Paskal Milo has told Pristina's Albanian-language daily "Koha Ditore". "There is not one Albanian who does not want Kosovo's independence, but there are obstacles between the wish and reality," Milo said in Thursday's edition of the newspaper. The Kosovo Liberation Army had become a new and serious factor for negotiations on resolving the issue of Kosovo, Milo said. He expressed hope that Albanian political subjects would create a serious structure of representatives which would include the Kosovo Liberation Army for negotiations with Belgrade.
