Annan asks Milosevic to end 'tragedy' in Kosovo

Milosevic 'feels the heat'

U.S. President Bill Clinton said Friday that Milosevic was still continuing his crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and that NATO strikes would therefore continue.

Shortly after that statement from Washington, a special Cypriot envoy in Belgrade said he had failed to win the release of three U.S. Army soldiers held in Yugoslavia, despite a face-to-face meeting with Milosevic.

NATO warplanes destroyed several armored vehicles, a surface-to-air missile site and other Serb targets in the latest wave of air attacks, said British Air Commodore David Wilby at a NATO news conference in Brussels.

State-controlled media in Serbia reported NATO strikes on Belgrade suburbs and two towns, Pancevo and Kragujevac.

The Belgrade-based Tanjug news agency said 100 workers were wounded when the automobile factory "Zastava" was hit in Kragujevac. Serbian television also said a fuel depot in Smederevo, east of Belgrade, was hit.

British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, speaking in London, said Milosevic was "feeling the heat," and Wilby said Serb troops were "digging in" and increasingly attacking on foot.

Fighting erupts on Albanian border

Serbian TV says NATO bombings hit an assembly plant that produces the Yugo

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe told CNN there was fighting Friday between Serbian forces and Kosovo Liberation Army guerrillas on the Yugoslav-Albanian border.

The fighting was between the KLA on the Albanian side of the border and Yugoslav army forces in Kosovo. The KLA is seeking independence for Kosovo.

The OSCE said the fighting was "more than the usual border incident" and involved light arms and artillery.

Annan said the plan would pave the way for an end to NATO airstrikes and a negotiated solution to the armed conflict.

UNHCR worries about displaced Kosovars

NATO officials and the U.N. refugee agency were struggling to keep aid flowing for tens of thousands of ethnic Albanian refugees who fled Kosovo and were living in NATO-run tent cities in Albania and Macedonia.

A NATO commander said civilian aid organizations should take over management of the refugee camps as soon as possible.

U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata said Friday she feared for the fate of ethnic Albanians blocked by Yugoslav forces from fleeing Kosovo.

"I am very much concerned for the fate of civilians remaining in Kosovo," she told a news conference in the Macedonian capital, Skopje.

Ogata was asked what her agency could do for those inside Kosovo. She replied that her employees could not return there for security reasons. "I am helpless there," she said.
