Milošević’s poker game

EDITORIAL Milošević’s poker game Carlo Bollino Finally, the situation in Kosovo has reached a turning point: representatives of the KLA signed the peace document yesterday in Paris, after a careful review of the text, the decisive moment of which depended on when they (KTO-S) of Washington, which struck hard at the government of Belgrade and were encouraged by the military powers. NATO is constantly reopening the dossiers in Kosovo against Serbia. The major movements of the first (?) are in loss, the government with one (...) in its duel with the KLA, a battle of Yugoslav militarization and a renewed concentration in relations as civil. The American chief, who made it clear that with the signing of the peace document by the Kosovar delegations, after some pressure, their NATO bombings could begin at any moment as a direct response against Belgrade. Milošević needed a card to come out ahead in the last minutes, one that could play well with the notion that, when losing, what more to do to save himself from such a clear danger? To begin for now, in the mountains of the north of the defiled insult. He did this with the surprise of the international with a thousand police officers (?) of reserve police; 700 selected for a mission with border regions, 12 prisoners (?) and 7 reserve soldiers along the clouds would have had a second cup in front of the opponents for the NATO mission to begin possible bombings against Serbia. First of all, to gain time to sign the agreement while at the same time there is a major military offensive against the Kosovars and his only breath to keep it under control at the edge of a simpler indicator would be not only his ally in Russia. This autumn scene directly links the connection with Moscow throughout this time. Moscow intervened immediately with a warning note to make the Serbs understand that, if they want to preserve peace, while we write this editorial, the bombings may begin in the coming minutes to force Belgrade to sign. In any case, if the bombings begin against Serbia and Milošević capitulates in Rome, history may describe him as the one who finally saved his country from a war with NATO against a completely superior opponent. If, on the other hand, he stands firm against NATO’s ultimatum until the end, he may have won time to launch a better-prepared offensive in Kosovo, causing an immeasurable humanitarian tragedy. History will judge.
