-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- =========================== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU BELGRADE, March 2 (AFP) - A Yugoslav general accused NATO on Thursday of trying to destabilise the tense demilitarised zone between southern Serbia and its province of Kosovo. In an interview with Belgrade's independent Beta news agency, Vladimir Lazarevic, the commander of the 3rd Yugoslav army in charge of southern Serbia, rejected NATO reports of Yugoslav troop reinforcements in the region. He said the the NATO claims were an attempt to "hide their intentions to destabilise" the region, dismissing the reports as a "notorious lie." Tension rose over the weekend in the region after a Serbian police officer was killed and three injured in an attack blamed by Belgrade on "Albanian terrorists". An ethnic Albanian also died in the attack which took place near Bujanovac on Saturday. Part of the southern Serbian region is a five kilometre (three mile) wide demilitarized zone closed to all forces except local police under a so-called military technical agreement signed last June between NATO and the Yugoslav army. Lazarevic said: "We are performing regular duties and we are observing what is happening in Kosovo and in the five-kilometer zone." Lazarevic took command of the Yugoslav Third Army last month. He was a former commander of the Pristina corps during the NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia in 1999. Yugoslav Army and Serb police units withdrew from Kosovo in June 1999. The province has been administered since then by the United Nations, while security is provided by the NATO-led multinational KFOR troops and UN police.
