"Why sow the seeds of mistrust? After all, we are no longer enemies; we are all partners now." Yeltsin said in an uneasy start to the two-day conference on reducing tensions in an increasingly unstable Europe. "No major country is going to live by the laws of isolation," he said in attacking NATO for agreeing last week to draw up conditions for admitting former Warsaw Pact foes. "Any such country will reject having such a game played with it." The conflict in Bosnia, raging not far from Budapest, also threatened to upset the summit of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Bosnian President Alja izetbegovic heaped scorn on the West for doing so little to stop the carriage that has left 200,000 dead and missing. "What is happening in Bosnia is the weakness of the West," he said in an address. "It is nothing more than that." President Clinton, in his speech, sought to focus attention on fresh moves to end nuclear confrontation on the European continent. Standing side by side, Clinton and Yeltsin formally put in force the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, the first accord ever to reduce long-range nuclear weapons. "Today we herald the arrival of a new and safer era," Clinton said at a ceremony also attended by leaders of the former Soviet republics of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Under the START I accord, longrange missiles stockpiled by the United States and the former Soviet Union will be slashed by about one-third, and the stage will be set for U.S. Senate action on the START II accord and its provisions for deeper reductions. At the same ceremony, Ukraine, the world's third largest nuclear power, renounced its arsenal of nuclear arms inherited from the Soviet breakup. Knight-Ridder Tribune U.N. report outlines policy for Russia's economic toil GENEVA—Economic prospects for Russia are gloomy, with little chance of any recovery in production, employment and living standards in the next year, a U.N. report said yesterday. The Associated Press It went on to renew calls for more outside financial assistance for the battered economy. The International Monetary Fund had offered $16 billion in support, but is subject to strict market reforms by the government. The report by the U.N. Economic Commission for Europe said the forecast for other former Soviet states was even worse, but that economic revival in most East European countries would continue. The ECE said the official unemployment rate of 1.9 percent in Russia was too low and put it at least12percent. The U.N. economists said the annual output of goods and services was expected to fall by 15 percent to 16 percent this year in Russia, and by 20 percent to 30 percent in other parts of the former Soviet Union. "Only a radical, coherent and credible economic program, announced and decisively implemented by the government, can be expected to gradually reduce the instability and uncertainty in the Russian economy," the report said. Israeli troops still in West Bank It blamed the depth of the recession on a restrictive but incoherent monetary policy, which had led to sharp cuts in domestic demand. President Boris Yeltsin's government tried to bring inflation under control and cut agricultural and industrial subsidies, but then bowed to political pressure and changed policies. The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Heading into critical negotiations on extending Palestinian autonomy, PLO leaders accused Israel yesterday of trying to renge on a promise to withdraw troops from the West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin indicated he was in no rush to pull the soldiers out because of security concerns, including a rise in attacks on Israelis by Islamic militants. Israel and the PLO are to begin negotiations today in Cairo, Egypt, on the second phase of autonomy -- troop withdrawal from Palestinian towns in the West Bank, to be followed by general elections. Rabin and his top military advisers are concerned about the safety of 120,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank if troops are redeployed. "We will make it clear to the Israeli side tomorrow that the whole agreement must be implemented because we have had enough delays," the chief Palestinian negotiator, Nabil Shaath, told reporters yesterday after meeting with PLO chief Yasser Arafat. The autonomy accord originally set troop withdrawal and elections for last July. That has been delayed indefinitely by the security concerns and talks on the nature of self-rule government. "The whole process will collapse if Israel continues to delay implementation," said Yasser Abed Rabbo, a member of Arafat's government. "...It will be hard for the Palestinian side to continue the talks." Rabin told Parliament's Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday that Arafat has not done enough to rein in Muslim militants in areas under his rule. Sixty-seven Israelis have been killed by Palestinians this year, compared to 58 in 1993, Rabin said. Rahn suggested that elements of the autonomy accord were subject to change. "Israel is committed to continuation of the negotiations, but no doubt we will have to bear in mind the lessons we have learned so far," he said. The PLO government's record in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank town of Jericho will influence the negotiations, Rabin said. He said he didn't want to drag things out or run amuck but that troop redeployment would take time. Some officials close to Rabin have proposed holding elections without moving Israeli soldiers. Dovish legislators, on the other hand, say Israel and the PLO should skip the second autonomy phase and move straight to negotiations on the final status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel's nightmare scenario after redeployment is that Israeli civilians will be ambushed by Muslim militants on West Bank roads and that Palestinian police will do little to catch the assailants. In a reminder of the growing appeal of Islamic militants, the extremist Hamas movement won student council elections at Gaza City's Islamic University yesterday. If Israeli troops withdraw, the army plans to build some bypass roads for Israeli settlers to reduce friction with Palestinians. Rabin said yesterday that $11.5 million was allocated for feasibility studies.
