NEWS REVIEW, REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

BANJALUKA - The President of Republika Srpska (RS) Biljana Plavsic greeted in Banjaluka representatives of the Greek Solidarity Caravan, who donated financial help for 500 children of killed Serbian fighters from Banjaluka. The friendly meeting in the House of Army was attended by families of killed soldiers. Mrs. Plavsic said that this humanitarian organisation has been helping Serbian nation in RS, especially during the war.

SALONIKA - The Greek Foreign Affairs Minister Teodos Pagalos stated in Athens that there were three options for solving the crisis in Kosovo - reaching an agreement about system of education, establishing autonomy, taking Vojvodina as a model, or organising a summit Jugoslavia-Albania at the highest level in Athens. Pangalos expressed displeasure with demand of some western powers to immediately apply sanctions on to FRY, emphasising they would be counterproductive for the Balkans. He warned about problem of refugees, which was concern not only of Greece but of all neighbouring countries.

BELGRADE - The main board of Serbian Renewal Movement concluded in Belgrade that "Serbia has a sovereign right to prevent terroristic actions of Albanian extremists" and severely condemned irresponsible, subversive and antinationalist behaviour of political parties, media and individuals who supported the war in Kosovo.

HAMBURG - A part of German press is trying to instigate military intervention of the West with one-sided and prejudiced reports on Kosovo, which is in fact the strategy of Albanian secessionist and influential western circles at the level of the governments, warns a liberal Berlin daily "Die Junge Welt". "Some journalists are reporting in accordance wiht the motto: not the facts, but preserving the myth about Serbian enemy are important", the paper emphasises. The newest disinformation on all TV stations in Germany that the Serbs "had occupied Eastern Slavonia in the Bosnian war, and then had to give it back in accordance with the Dayton peace accord" fits into this general conclusion of "The Junge Welt".

ZVORNIK - The Minister for Refugees and Displaced Persons of Republika Srpska (RS) Miladin Dragicevic stated for SRNA in Zvornik that about 480, 000 of refugees and displaced persons from the former B&H and 55,000 Serbia exiled from Croatia have been registered in RS. According to him, 6,939 persons are still in collective shelters, and solving of 7,000 of requests for adequate settlement are still in progress. The Minister Dragicevic explained that earlier deadline, March 5, for refugees and displaced persons to be registered, had been extended until the end of March and it will last for 21 days.

BELGRADE - Representatives of diplomatic corps in FR Yugoslavia, in organisation of the Federal Foreign Affairs Ministry, will visit the village of Donje Prekaze in region of Drenica, one of Kosovo's Albanian terrorists' strongpoints. As Belgrade media report, the region of Drenica has been visited also by a group of 50 journalists, and 400 foreign reporters are currently in Kosovo.

BELGRADE - Serbian Radical Party (SRS) stated that it demanded from relevant organs of Serbia to make plain to Kosovo's Albanians and representatives of some foreign countries that Kosovo and Metohija, as a part of sovereign territory of Serbia, would and could not be brought into question. Serbian Radicals demand from Serbia's authorities to use all power in order to prevent further terroristic actions of Albanian terrorists in Kosovo. "Our country has to clearly and unambiguously answer to all of those who would wish to politically blackmail and trade with Serbian ancient territories", SRS says.

PARIS - The French President Jacques Chirac warned that Europe would not tolerate new escalation of clashes and asked for "urgent and decisive" international action in Kosovo, Reuters report. "We can not tolerate escalation of ethnic hatred in Europe and we do not accept a new civil war, which could be threat to stability in whole of southeast Europe", is said in a statement from the French President's Cabinet.

BELGRADE - The Coordination Board of Albanian political parties from Kosovo and Independent Union of Albanian Students of Pristina University scheduled for tomorrow at 11,00 am peaceful demonstrations in places and cities across Kosovo, has been stated from Kosovo's informative centre close to Democratic Union of Kosovo. Belgrade media say that "demonstrations of all Albanians", with motto "For peace, against violence, war and Serbian terror" have been welcomed by the leader of Albanian secessionists in Kosovo Ibrahim Rugova and president of Albanian so-called government Bujar Bukosi.
