"The Russian parliamentarians stressed that the Russian people extend full support to the Yugoslav people's struggle in the defense of freedom, independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity," the statement said. The Russian parliamentarians also asked for the return of the Yugoslav army to Kosovo, a Serbian province now under NATO-backed UN administration, the statement said. They called for the lifting of all sanctions against Yugoslavia and its return to international organizations from which the country has been barred as a result of its involvement in Balkan wars during the 1990s. The Russian parliamentarians and Yugoslav Serb officials both stressed the need to increase economic cooperation through joint ventures and participation of Russian firms in the reconstruction of Yugoslavia. ======== THE NEWS ======== Evening news edited by Aleksandar Stan AIM, Belgrade, July 10, 2000 18:30 http://www.aim.ac.yu/ ===== Join with Lake Merritt Neighbors Organized for Peace and others to give "NATO Supreme Commander" General Wesley Clark a special Berkeley welcome in October!
