2A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 18, 1999 NATION Foreign ministers detect sso movement in Kosovo peac RAMBOUILLET, France (AP) - Despite Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's defiant "no" to the chief mediator at the Kosovo peace talks, the British and French foreign ministers said yester- day they detected some progress. With less than three days to go to the Saturday noon deadline for reaching a three-year interim agreement between Serbs and Kosovo Albanians, Foreign Ministers Hubert Vedrine of France and Robin Cook of Britain said both sides showed signs of moving closer to a deal. "It seems things are moving a bit,"Vedrine said on the steps of the 14th-Century chateau in Rambouillet, outside Paris, where talks have been taking place since Feb. 6. "But there is only a little time left" Key to any Kosovo peace agreement is the deploy- ment of a 30,000-strong NATO force in the province to ensure the deal is implemented. Belgrade's refusal so far to consider allowing such a force on Yugoslav territory has been a major roadblock in the talks. Christopher Hill, the American who heads the inter- national mediating team at the talks, flew to Belgrade on Tuesday with a tough message for Milosevic: Sign a deal by Saturday or face NATO missiles. NATO has threatened to launch airstrikes on Yugoslavia if an agreement is not reached by Saturday. Milosevic, however, showed no sign of being intim- idated.
