Kosovo roundup

People who believe that terrorism should be treated as acts of crime, not war, seem to be getting a test case in Kosovo, as the UN begins to round up the usual suspects.

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is "shocked and outraged" by recent killings of UN personnel and police.

Vecernje Novosti (not online) reports that the Serbian parliament has a resolution supported by all the caucus whips that if the international community doesn't do anything about Kosovo, Serbian security forces will.

Cantonization of Kosovo is being hotly debated, with people arguing that it is the only way of creating security for minorities and that it will not create security.

In the meantime, Serbia begins to catch up with the Albanians, Croats and Bosnian Muslims in understanding that justice from the U.S. costs big bucks.

Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo Albanians together paid Rudder and Fin nearly $1 million during the first six months of 1993. Kosovo Albanians have paid the firm another $1.2 million in recent years ang were willing to go up to $10 to $15 million.

As Leon Smith of 'PR World' says for 'Blic' it happens very frequently that governments, especially of developing countries are faced with impossible choice. Representatives of PR agencies are offering to such governments their expensive services. If the offer is accepted then there will be only several letters of support published in American media. If they refuse, however, then all doors are being closed. Mr. Smith is dealing with the work of lobbyist companies in Washington.

I reproduce this quote from the Yugoslav publication Blic Online because it sounds entirely possible, but the truth is, I can't find "Leon Smith" or "PR World" on the net, so my only secondary source is my own "Spidey sense." It might be a translation problem, or . . . .
