NATO leaders Friday signaled a softer air campaign against Yugoslavia as the Pentagon suggested bombing could end by Sunday if Milosevic moves to withdraw forces from Kosovo.

G-8 foreign ministers planned to draft the resolution, but Russia postponed final terms. Albright prepared to meet Ivanov in Germany.
