PEACE IN KOSOVO, AN AMERICAN NATIONAL INTEREST
WASHINGTON—For the second time in three days, U.S. President Klinton issued a very stern warning to Belgrade that NATO is ready to take action if Millosheviçi does not stop the violence against the Albanians and does not sign the Peace Agreement for Kosovo.
“It is clear that Serbian military forces are carrying out new attacks against civilians in Kosovo. These are an open violation of the commitments Serbia made in October last year, when the ceasefire agreement was reached,” Klintoni said yesterday afternoon at a press conference at the White House.
