KOSOVO ALBANIANS REFUSE TO NEGOTIATE

( Editorial: --> 5304 ) PRISTINA, Oct 3 (Hina) - A letter in which Serbian Deputy Minister Ratko Makovic, the head of the Serbian negotiation crew calls on the Albanians to negotiate, has been published in Pristina, the capital of the Serbian province of Kosovo. The leader of Kosovo negotiators Fehmi Agani said that the main reasons for ending the talks between Pristina and Belgrade still existed. Agani said that the conflicts on Kosovo had not stopped, and that an average of 15 Albanians per day were being killed in Kosovo from July 20 to this day, while large number of Albanians had immigrated. Agani referred to Markovic's call on the talks - as a manifestation with the aim of lowering pressure by the international community and avoiding almost sure NATO intervention. Albanian sources reported on Saturday that the Serbian military had been bombing villages bordering with Albania, near Djakovica since the break of a dawn. Twenty six more bodies have been found in Glogovac and Suva Reka municipalities. (hina) it jn/sp 031630 MET oct 98
