Trouble in Nato land????___________Milosevic Maddens NATO Representatives
0148 GMT, 000224
Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic is reportedly reinforcing special police units stationed inside Serbia’s border with Kosovo. This low-risk, but potentially high-yield, operation could stir up a NATO debate and possibly even precipitate a NATO pull-out from the region.
If Milosevic could avoid crossing Serbia's borders and trigger more NATO aggression against Yugoslavia, he could play the victim. Or – more likely – if Milosevic could make the situation so miserable and so unstable that he undermines support for NATO’s mission in Kosovo, he still wins. NATO will be forced to pull out if it fails to attain a grip on the region and remains vulnerable to Milosevic’s antics.
NATO sources reported Feb. 22 that four companies – approximately 300 troops – of Interior Ministry special police had moved into the Presevo Valley region, just east of the Kosovo border. In response, State Department spokesman James Rubin and NATO Secretary-General George Roberts each issued a warning to the Milosevic regime that NATO would not tolerate provocation in Kosovo. Neither Rubin nor Robertson clarified if the police were violating the three-mile buffer zone around Kosovo.
Permanent NATO representatives met Feb. 23 in Brussels, where a senior military officer asked that the alliance consider sending much needed reinforcements to Kosovo, reported Reuters. The officer said that of the 49,000 NATO troops planned for Kosovo, only 30,000 were actually in the province. Soon after, the French defense minister announced that France would immediately deploy an additional 600-700 troops. This is a clear sign that NATO realizes its mission is in jeopardy.
Macedonia, which shares a border with Kosovo and Serbia near the Presevo Valley, has called for heightened awareness among its border guards. Macedonian army spokesman Gjorgji Trendafilov reported that the patrols on Macedonia’s northern border raised their combat readiness and increased their patrols on Feb. 21. This has not been done since NATO began bombing Kosovo last spring.
Milosevic is apparently attempting to amplify the tension in and around Kosovo, without giving NATO a reason to remain. His special police – which led the campaign against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo – are free to exercise on their own soil. If NATO perceives their presence as a security threat, it will result in a NATO debate over the next phase and a possible call for action. However, the alliance was divided on the original decision to bomb Kosovo. Germany and Italy have not reconciled themselves with the campaign and are certainly not prepared to bomb the remaining Yugoslav states. Without the choice of action against Milosevic, NATO would be crippled and forced to endure the present situation or leave the region.
Milosevic hopes that a NATO disagreement over the next plan of action could benefit him in two ways, with virtually no costs. First, it could strengthen his position: Milosevic would demonstrate his ability to threaten NATO’s security and mission in Kosovo without penalty. His troops are just close enough to be a security threat, but not dangerous enough to gather international support for another NATO attack on Yugoslavia.
Second, because of Kosovo’s continued instability since the end of bombing last June, increased Serb provocation could lead to an eventual NATO pull-out. NATO is no longer fighting a war in Kosovo, but neither has it achieved peace. NATO members, paralyzed by internal disputes, face domestic political backlash. This unsettling middle ground is bad for NATO’s image. The prospect that NATO’s involvement in Kosovo could drag out for years makes a convincing argument for withdrawal.
Milosevic, on the other hand, has nothing to lose. He can send his police near the border without violating any laws. Yugoslavia is already under sanctions and is not likely to be bombed again, so Milosevic can continue to pick away at NATO’s mission in Kosovo with nothing to lose but NATO as a neighbor.)
Looks like Ole Milosevich wants another spanking....fire up the F-16s
If Milosevic could avoid crossing Serbia's borders and trigger more NATO aggression against Yugoslavia, he could play the victim. Or – more likely
God bless NATO for the licking they gave serbian terrorist trash

Hey! Igor, Dimi...

Soviet Union and IIIrd Reich were at the time both ennemies of most of the East european countries on an egal basis.
At least I can talk on the behalf of Poland and the Baltic states.
Both soviets and nazis invaded theyr countries, deported people en mass, executed resistants or sent them to concentration camps...
These things happends under soviet rule as well as under the nazis. Some crimes are even not known if they were commited by the nazis or by the soviets.
It's normal therefore that a man who took part in such a crimes is convicted even thought he fought the nazis.
The bulk of latvian or lithuanian pro nazis during WW2 were german settlers in these countries.
Please shut up with this nazi crap in the baltic states.
It's not true.
I wonder if the MacDonalds that was all smashed up in Belgrade ever re-opened. It would be funny if it did. "Hey we hate being bombed by NATO but love Big Macs."
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has lodged a resolute protest with Andrzej Zalucki, Polish Ambassador in Moscow, in connection with the attack on the Russian general consulate in Poznan on February 23. The Russian Foreign Ministry reports that the ambassador was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry and was declared that the "bandit action, as a result of which Russian state symbols were desecrated, has aroused Moscow's extreme indignation." The ambassador was asked to explain how it could have happened that that "unbridled action took place with the full connivance of the bodies of law and order." The Russian Foreign Ministry stresses in its statement, which RIA Novosti received today, that "anti-Russian assemblages have also been organised in front of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw, as well as the general consulates in Gdansk and Krakow." Despite the warnings of the Russian side that the activity on Polish territory of "Chechen information centres" and committees of the "Poland-Chechnya" and "Free Caucasus" type constitute a potential threat for the security of Russian representations, the Polish authorities did not take any steps to stop the activity of these structures. More than that, they find support among some representatives of the Polish parliament, including part of its leadership, notes the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Andrzej Zalucki was told that Moscow expects the Polish side to provide exhaustive explanations of the incident, to take effective steps to punish those found guilty and to prevent such criminal actions in the future.
Moscow regards the lack of action on the part of the Polish authorities as an "actual encouragement of the extremists, the unwillingness to create normal conditions for the work of the Russian representations in Poland, with all the ensuing consequences for the bilateral relations."
Give em hell Igor
I remember when Poland was in the Warsaw pack back in the early 80s the average Pol only was able to get 3 rolls of toliet paper a year. A US radio station heard about this and did a toliet paper drive (I think as a joke) they sent tons of toliet paper to the Polish embassy....the response thanks but no thanks.
