The Albanians have said "yes" to the accord and the Serbs are saying "no". At the same time, Belgrade security forces are stepping up their unjustified and aggressive actions in Kosovo and if Belgrade doesn't reverse course, the Serbs will be responsible for the consequences and I would just like to remind President Milosevic that NATO stands to ready to take whatever measures are necessary." 4.01 DUBOVAC /GLAVOTINA, KOSOVO, YUGOSLAVIA (MARCH 18, 1999)(REUTERS) 16.
