NATO presses ahead with escalated Kosovo campaign
NATO officials said there will be no negotiations with Belgrade until the Yugoslav government halts violence in Kosovo, withdraws 40,000 troops, and allows 50,000 NATO-led troops to secure return of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanian refugees. Milosevic may meet with Chernomyrdin and Ahtisaari in Belgrade after Bonn talks. Washington questions Milosevic’s commitment to peace. NATO’s air campaign escalates with strikes on a Milosevic villa bunker and military sites, while Serb forces hit Albanian positions and civilians suffer in Surdulica and Novi Pazar.
