NATO Bombing Over In A Week,
Former Deputy PM Draskovic Says
PARIS, May 25, 1999 -- (Reuters) Former
Yugoslav Deputy Premier Vuk Draskovic said in an
interview published on Tuesday that NATO
bombings of his country would end within a week.
"In eight days at the most, you will see the bombings
will have stopped and everything will be ended," he
was quoted as saying in the French newspaper Le
Parisien.
Draskovic was dismissed a month ago for calling for
the stationing of foreign troops in Kosovo under
U.N. control.
Asked what lay behind his optimistic view, he
replied: "That's my opinion. I can't say anything
more."
Draskovic said the next step after the end of
bombings should be elections where he would stand
as candidate for president against President
Slobodan Milosevic.
NATO Secretary-General Xavier Solana said in an
interview with Europe-1 radio that the bombing
campaign against Yugoslavia would continue and the
alliance's goal was to return Kosovo refugees to
their homes by this winter. ((c) 1999 Reuters)
