Diplomacy amid the rubble

Article Abstract:

There have been increased efforts to seek a diplomatic solution to the war in Yugoslavia, while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is divided on whether ground troops should be used in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. There are unanswered questions such as whether Yugoslav president, Slobodan Milosevic, will accept conditions set out by Russia and western countries, and about the composition of any peacekeeping force in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. There are risks involved in using ground troops, and there are divisions within NATO on this issue, but air strikes alone do not appear to be effective.
