BELGRADE—Slobodan Milošević will send a letter to President Bill Clinton, announced yesterday evening the American priest Jesse Jackson, who spoke during the day with the Yugoslav head of state. announced yesterday evening the American priest Jesse Jackson, who spoke during the day with the Yugoslav head of state. President Milošević “made significant mention” of the demands of the United States and NATO concerning Kosovo, Priest Jackson told the press. “I asked him to write to Clinton so that I could convey it to the president, because we are not here to discuss the details of the proposal,” he stressed. “Milošević will send a letter on this matter to President Clinton,” in which he will “again appeal to NATO to stop the bombing, because it is traumatizing the population,” he added. According to a member of the American delegation, who asked to remain anonymous, Priest Jackson “suggested that Milošević write a letter to Clinton.” Milošević was “open to the idea of meeting President Clinton, but he did not promise to request such a meeting,” the source said, adding: “We hope to receive a letter for Clinton before we leave.”

It was “medicinal” that the calendar of the black chronicle of Albanian sport should have been white again yesterday. The match of the 17th week between Tirana and Berat had ended following a “peaceful compromise” among the whores of the law, the people of sport, with a hypothetical goal against the capital’s team. The reaction of the people of Tirana was subsequently insufficient to make their fellow townsman, the referee, see reason: in a single moment he had made two completely contradictory decisions. In one, he penalized Berat for a foul; in the other, he penalized Tirana with a goal. Afterwards, as usual in such cases, the few Albanian officials who claim to be managing their country’s sport are left stunned in the stadium stands. In fact, the black chronicle has other pages too, and an impartial hand can see there Vllaznia insulted, Lushnja mutilated, and many other teams waiting for the championship’s final three pages to become its protagonists. This impotence in the face of violence on the part of everyone also reveals the hypocrisy of what is claimed to be Albanian sport. An ordinary week in the 60th national championship has more deal-making than a metropolitan stock exchange—deals in which the unfortunate state, which has even established an Institution for Combating Violence in Sport, remains “astonished” by its own impotence.
