>and high quality should be confirmed also in this new housing project," the

>
> And the project, along with large public works since the

>driving force for the further increase of industrial production in many
>fields, Milosevic added.
>
> "I believe that the project will be successfully realized and this
>huge result and job is the best response of a proud people to world killers
>and destroyers," the Yugoslav President said.
>
> President Milosevic concluded "that is why we all can only
>congratulate our construction workers for their great sacrifices, patriotism,
>success and results and wish them much success in the future."
>

>terrorists abused Haljauska in his apartment in downtown Pristina before they
>shot him in the back of the head in the park.
>
> The center said the only possible reason for this murder could be
>that Haljauska was not an ethnic Albanian. All non-Albanians in Serbia's
>Kosovo and Metohija province are now intimidated by ethnic Albanians, the
>center said. They receive disturbing and threatening phone calls and are
>exposed to constant pressure.

>
> The Russian diplomat said the decision was a result of intensive
>negotiations and serious mistakes in the timely and complete execution of
>Resolution 1244, which Russia had systematically indicated at council sessions
>and at other international forums. Moreover, Russia regularly points out gross
>violations of the most important articles of this resolution, primarily the
>principle of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
>Yugoslavia, he said.
>
> On more than one occasion, the work of the U.N.
>Secretary-General's special representative, Kosovo civilian mission head
>Bernard Kouchner was severely criticized, as well as the international force
>KFOR leadership, Yakovenko said.
>
> Unfortunately, the situation is not improving, he said. This is

>describing the incident as very serious, and demanding of Reinhardt that KFor
>do its job and secure the Macedonian-Yugoslav border from the side of that

>
> The border must be secured according to international norms,
>Trajkovski said, stressing that KFor, which has assumed the obligation to
>guard the border on the Kosovo-Metohija side, should cooperate with the
>Macedonian army.
>
> In this way alone is it possible to prevent incidents like the
>abduction of Macedonian soldiers and illegal crossings of the border, he
>stressed.

> BERLIN, April 6 (Tanjug) - Willy Wimmer, a Christian Democrat
>Union (CDU) deputy to Germany's Bundestag (lower hose of parliament) said on
>Thursday that new clashes between rival factions enjoying support by ethnic
>Albanian Mob chiefs, might soon break out in Kosovo and Metohija, saying that
>the West had no strategy to prevent that. Wimmer called NATO's attention to
>results of last year's war goals that had been trumpeted around, stressing
>that the Yugoslav Army had remained virtually intact.
>
> He speculated as to whether Russia's President-Elect Vladimir
>Putin would just sit back in case of another conflict.
>
> Analysing the latest developments in the Yugoslav Republic of
>Serbia's southern province, Wimmer said that Europe should learn its lesson
>from NATO's aggression on Yugoslavia which had been basically aimed at
>ensuring the Alliance's expansion and at boosting its credibility. These goals
>are best reflected in U.S. efforts to set up the biggest army base since the
>end of the war in Vietnam, in Urosevac, in the southeast of Kosovo and
>Metohija.
>
> Wimmer also pointed to a growing number of reports by Western
>media on ethnic cleansing practised in Kosovo and Metohija by the ethnic
>Albanian terrorist organisation calling itself Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
