YUGOSLAVIA DOUBLES. Belgrade. After more than two months of NATO airstrikes, the government of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic accepted an international peace plan, capitulating to Western demands to end the conflict in Kosovo. The acceptance took place after Serbian legislators in Belgrade overwhelmingly supported a peace agreement to resolve the crisis and allow the return of more than 850,000 Kosovar-Albanians to this province. “Yugoslavia accepts the peace document brought by the highest representatives of the European Union and Russia,” one news agency said, after talks between Milosevic, former Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin and Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari. The government said the peace plan confirms the integrity of Yusgoslavia’s sovereignty and territoriality and the role of the United Nations in imposing peace in the region. The decision in itself does not mean that NATO will stop bombing immediately. The plan calls for a series of steps, including a verifiable withdrawal of Serbian forces, after which NATO will cease the airstrikes it began on March 24. NATO had no immediate comment.
