Dr Rugova urges Nato to stop airstrikes FROM TOM WALKER IN BELGRADE THE ethnic Albanian leader Ibrahim Rugova yesterday threatened to throw Nato's military strategy in Yugoslavia into chaos as he called for an end to air- strikes because of the growing human-itarian crisis in Kosovo. Mr Rugova, whose moderate tones were submerged at the Rambouillet and Paris peace conferences by the more extreme Kosovo Liberation Army, spoke to reporters at his home in Pristina last night. He said the Nato strikes "must stop", but added that the regime of President Milosevic must also co-operate in ending the war. Now was the time, Mr Rugova said, for Nato "not to kill people and help to find a solution". He described the situation in Kosovo as "very tragic" and said a "general humanitarian catastrophe of unimaginable proportions" loomed in the province. He also appealed for the European Union, the Contact Group and Russia to apply their diplomatic energies to resolving the crisis. The press conference ended days of speculation about the unofficial "President" of Kosovo, who has been in hiding since violence erupted in Pristina over the last week. sunday-times.co.uk
