Palestinians urged to negotiate
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — One of Prime Minister Ehud Barak's senior envoys met with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat late Sunday in an urgent attempt to reach an agreement on implementing the Wye River Accord before Secretary of State Madeleine Albright arrives later this week.
Bank and the release of Palestinians jailed for anti-Israel attacks.
Barak warned last night that if Israeli and Palestinian negotiators failed to close a deal within hours, he could carry out the U.S.-brokered accord unilaterally and as he sees fit.
The statement issued by Barak's office said the Palestinians were not providing satisfactory answers on two issues: a timetable for an Israeli withdrawal from parts of the West
A senior envoy for Barak made his case to Arafat in the West Bank town of Ramallah late Sunday evening, Palestinian officials said.
influrate the Palestinians and freeze the peace process.
Failure to reach an agreement would lead Barak to consider implementing what he sees as the original Wye, although he does not believe this is in the interest of either side, the statement said.
The statement said in that case, he would disregard all agreements achieved in recent negotiations.
Implementing Israel's original version of the accord would mean an open-ended pullout from the West Bank and the release of prisoners selected according to Israeli criteria. Both actions would likely
But Barak's statement did indicate a softening in Israel's stance on the prisoners issue. It said the government had absolutely no intention of releasing prisoners belonging to Islamic Jihad or Hamas, two militant Islamic groups that oppose the peace process. Singling out the militants suggested that Barak was now considering releasing Palestinians who belonged to pro-peace groups.
There was also an apparent reversal on the withdrawal's timetable. In his statement, Barak said a withdrawal within six months would coincide with agreement on a framework for final status negotiations.
Negotiators had said last week that Barak had dropped demands to link Wye to the final status talks.
U.N. ambassador visits Yugoslavia
The Associated Press
Pristina, Yugoslavia
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia—Emphasizing the magnitude of rebuilding Kosovo, Richard Holbrooke on Sunday commended U.N. peace efforts and stressed the need to work toward a multiethnic and democratic society.
The three-day trip is Holbrooke's first abroad since being confirmed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations earlier this month. He helped broker the 1995 Dayton accord that ended the 3 1/2-year war in Bosnia and later served as President Clinton's special envoy to Yugoslavia.
Following his meeting with Kosovo's Serb leaders, Holbrooke expressed concern about attacks on Serbian Orthodox religious buildings.
"These are world heritage sites and anyone destroying them, whatever their reasons, whatever their motivation, should know that is a criminal vandal act and people must respect religious sites," Holbrooke said.
Calling Kosovo the ultimate test of the U.N.'s capability and potential, Holbrooke underlined the complexity of the problems that continue to plague the province, some 21/2 months after the arrival of international peacekeepers.
"This place has been a mess for a long time, but a different kind of mess," Holbrooke said, following a meeting with Bernard Kouchner, the top U.N. official in Kosovo. "The war was messy, the decade
that preceded the war was messy, the history back to 1912 was messy and the task is immense."
... and the task is minor.
Holbrooke congratulated Kouchner on improving security in the province but also voiced concern about continuing ethnic-based attacks on Kosovo's minorities.
But he rejected a Serb proposal to create separate enclaves for Kosovo's dwindling Serb population
Reserve SWATning Serb's population.
Since the arrival of NATO-led peacekeepers, revenge killings and violence by ethnic Albanians targeting Serbs have derailed international attempts to establish normality.
Holbrooke met with Hashim Thaci, the leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Thaci said that he and Holbrooke agreed on the complete demilitarization of the KLA.
"We believe that by the 19th of September, the KLA will be completely demilitarized." Thaci said.
Holbrooke also met with moderate ethnic Albanian leader Ibrahim Rugova.
