OSCE DELEGATION ENDS VISIT TO KOSOVO

( Editorial: --> 8478 ) PRISTINA, July 18 (Hina) - A delegation of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on Saturday ended a two- day visit to Kosovo holding talks with Kosovo Albanian leader Ibrahim Rugova. After the talks delegation leader Ambassador Hans Joerg Eiff only said the delegation was returning to Belgrade. The delegation's mission is to determine and gather facts, Eiff said before his talks with Rugova. The mission does not have a negotiating character and our aim is to help re-establish OSCE missions in the Yugoslav provinces of Kosovo, Sandzak and Vojvodina. During the two-day stay in Kosovo, the OSCE delegation held separate talks on the latest situation and possibilities of resolving the Kosovo crisis with representatives of Serb authorities and Kosovo Albanian leaders. The 12-member delegation included the ambassadors of Contact Group member-countries, representatives of the OSCE troika, which includes Poland, Norway and Denmark, and the ambassador of European Union presiding Austria.
