Aid Workers Move Fast to Offer Help

Humanitarian aid workers took advantage of a lull in fighting to rush help to thousands of displaced ethnic Albanians massed along Kosovo’s border with Macedonia. Defying NATO warnings, Yugoslav army and Serbian police forces have pounded suspected Kosovo Liberation Army rebel positions in the breakaway province for several days. The fighting has cast increasing doubt on the chances for success when suspended peace talks resume March 15 in France, although there is evidence that the Kosovo Albanian delegation is ready to sign a peace deal.
