Sorting out Kosovo
Article Abstract:
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia have entered Kosovo, Yugoslavia, and there has been a rift between the two over the conflict in Yugoslavia. Russia is concerned that there may have been a move to exclude it from Yugoslavia. Russia would have opposed a United Nations (UN) resolution to use force to prevent Slobodan Milosevic carrying out ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia. A UN-mandated force is seeking to bring peace in Kosovo, and Russia should be involved, though there is concern that Russia may seek part of Kosovo to manage itself. NATO has a difficult task and is unlikely to want to become involved in other wars.

Bombs over Belgrade, diplomatic as well as military
Article Abstract:
Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are moving toward and agreement on the war in Yugoslavia, and this presents a potentially greater threat to Serbia than does NATO's bombing campaign. There is still disagreement between Russia and NATO on whether NATO should form part of a peacekeeping force in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. The president of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, is also developing a peace plan and has released a Kosovar leader, Ibrahim Rugova.
