Russian negotiators met separatist leaders of Chechnya for talks to halt fighting in the rebel Caucasus region, where a 3-day-old cease-fire is already under pressure. The discussions, held in North Ossetia, a region bordering breakaway Chechnya, are designed to back up a truce agreed to in Moscow last week after Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin met Chechen rebel leader Zelimkhan A. Yanderbiyev.
