Tribunal Update 122: Last Week in The Hague (19-24 April, 1999)
KLA arms caches, Serbian pro-Milosevic demonstrators, and friction between Skopje and the West. The signs are ominous for the fragile republic.
Since 1992, the dispute over this uninhabited peninsula has remained low key but deadlocked, and talks got nowhere -- leaving Milosevic another card to play against Croatia and Montenegro. This week, he checked his hand.
Podgorica is distancing itself further from Belgrade--and from the Yugoslav Army, which it feels poses a direct threat.
Belgrade's bunker mentality is contagious, and you can catch it above as well as below ground. Ask the local spy.
