ANNOUNCED MILOSEVIC-RUGOVA MEETING CAUSES STORMY REACTIONS

( Editorial: --> 3548 ) PRISTINA, May 13 (Hina) - A meeting between Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and Democratic Alliance of Kosovo president Ibrahim Rugova announced for May 15 has caused stormy reactions in the south Yugoslav province. The first Milosevic-Rugova meeting is taking place in very difficult circumstances, Fehmi Agani told Hina Wednesday. Agani is chief of the Kosovo Albanian G-15 negotiations group set up to establish a political platform for resolving the Kosovo crisis and for negotiations with Yugoslav authorities. One of the most difficult he had to make, Rugova's decision to meet with Milosevic was called for by attempts to find a peace-keeping political solution to the Kosovo crisis which, Agani told Hina, started becoming dramatic and threatening with serious consequences. Nothing spectacular or more than what a first meeting may offer should be expected from the announced talks, Agani said. The Milosevic-Rugova meeting will be the start of a process, the first step toward decreasing tension in Kosovo, he concluded. (hina) ha /dgr 131409 MET may 98
