Was it a sign that he believed that it was the moment to leave Yugoslavia?  Was he trying to arrange some financial transaction for the benefit of his boss?  We don't know.  But the good thing is that as these people try to leave, they are finding that there are not many safe areas where they are welcome.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Jamie Shea, NATO spokesman \u003cbr/\u003eNATO has given its support to diplomatic efforts by Russia, the U-S and the European Union to find a solution to the Yugoslav conflict.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Wednesday, Russian envoy Viktor Chernomyrdin was meeting with American and Finnish envoys in Moscow to try to forge a strong consensus to present a Milosevic.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Shea added that Russia should recognise NATO's interest in pursuing diplomatic and not just military means to resolve the crisis. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Well, we will continue to work very hard to convince Russia that our strategy is the right one because it's the only one that will successfully resolve the Kosovo crisis.  But it's not a strategy that consists of bombing alone.  We are not a bombing-only organisation because we are, our countries - the countries that are involved in this operation - are also, also the ones that are most committed to finding a peaceful, diplomatic solution.\"  \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Jamie Shea, NATO spokesman \u003cbr/\u003eNATO has repeatedly rejected calls from Russia and others to observe a ceasefire while political channels are pursued.\u003cbr/\u003eShea vehemently told reporters that Milosevic has had plenty of time to weigh his options and that the bombing will go on until he meets all of NATO's demands. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"He has to meet the five conditions and he has to show that he means that in deed and not simply word by withdrawing his forces.  That is something that he can do tomorrow.  There's no particular thinking period that's required here.  We're going to insist on that.  These five condition are not negotiable - I really want to make that clear.  These are not simply starting points for negotiation that you put into play and you see where you end up, no.  Those are the conditions that we want to have not at the entry point but at the exit point of this process, and that's why we're insisting on them.  They're non-negotiable, we're not going to back away from them. \"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Jamie Shea, NATO spokesman \u003cbr/\u003eOn Tuesday, the alliance announced it would nearly double to 50-thousand the size of the international peacekeeping force which will enter Kosovo once Serb forces leave the Serbian province.\u003cbr/\u003eShea said despite Yugoslavia's objections, it is essential that NATO troops remain at the core of such a force. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's not true to say one peacekeeper looks like any other peacekeeper and therefore is interchangeable, no.  Those refugees have said time and time again to us that they will only go back if they see NATO in that peacekeeping force.  It doesn't mean to say that they have to see the NATO flag everywhere or the NATO logo blasted on every building, but they need to know that that force is a force that is built around that NATO core, that NATO soldiers are providing the bulk of that force, that the type of NATO command arrangements that we know work are there, that that force is a force which is going to be respected by all and is not going to crumble like a pack of cards at the first sight of a challenge.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Jamie Shea, NATO spokesman \u003cbr/\u003eBritain's House of Commons was focusing on Kosovo as well when it held question time with Prime Minister Tony Blair.\u003cbr/\u003eBlair said the troop increase demonstrates NATO's determination to make sure a sufficient force is in place to escort Kosovo's refugees back home.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"There's no doubt at all, it is a significant and a right move.  It is on the basis that was set by NATO yesterday.  But I think it is important now that we have demonstrated the clear intent and determination that we shall make sure there is a sufficient force so that the refugees can be allowed back home properly.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Tony Blair, British Prime Minister\u003cbr/\u003eBritain has been the strongest proponent of considering sending ground forces into Kosovo sooner than later.\u003cbr/\u003eBut NATO insisted again on Wednesday that while such an option remains on the table, it is far from the focal point of discussions at the moment.\u003cbr/\u003e Brussels, Belgium - 26 May 1999 (First Run 1500 Europe Late 26 May 1999)\u003cbr/\u003e1.
