Nato considers new Serb plan

In a concession to Serbia, Nato is ready to consider a plan that would allow Serb forces to put more of a squeeze on ethnic Albanian guerrillas operating just outside Kosovo.

Pieter Feith, the director of Nato forces for the Balkans, suggested the alliance was leaning toward accepting Serbian demands that a three-mile-wide zone abutting Kosovo and now largely under rebel control be narrowed, allowing heavily armed Serbian police and Yugoslav army troops a better crack at the guerrillas.
