...weapon of choice these days is a proposal for a transitional government in which a new Prime Minister of Yugoslavia would come from the democratic ruling party in Montenegro and the Prime Minister of Serbia from an opposition party (guess who?). "That's the end of Milosevic," he says. One of the many flaws in this plan is Montenegro's determination not to become more closely involved with Serbia as long as Milosevic is still around. Perhaps the best alternative, however, would be a united front among opposition parties. But Draskovic's ego and ambition won't let him join...
...Milosevic's formidable propaganda machine, the U.S. Information Agency plans to ring Serbia's border with six radio transmitters that will beam Western news programs into the country 24 hours a day. Last month Robert Gelbard, U.S. special envoy to the Balkans, flew to Serbia's rebellious republic of Montenegro to meet with some 20 Serbian opposition leaders and plead with them to join forces against the regime...
...horror. The impact of those pit graves and decomposing bodies, incinerated villages and pulverized cities will haunt the Balkans for generations. In Washington the White House is busy searching for a leader to replace Milosevic if the defeated strongman falls.

In some camps, makeshift convenience stores have sprung up, selling soda, meat pies and other homelike conveniences at affordable Balkan prices. But as international aid workers fight traditional camp scourges such as cholera...
...assume contra-like proportions. Most important, however, NATO officials are worried that a well-armed and well-trained K.L.A. would veer into radicalism. K.L.A. officials such as Salihu, for instance, unabashedly say the only route to Balkan stability is a "greater Albania" that would include huge swaths of Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo. That ambition is terrifying to NATO politicians, who simply want to return Kosovars to their homeland...
