Excerpt from a BBC newswire:

Refugees are the losers

The UN refugee agency said it was now bracing itself for the task of supervising movement of almost two million refugees in the Balkans.

The former envoy to Yugoslavia, Lord Owen, said the deal was not a victory for Nato.

He said: "I don't think (the word) victory can possibly be used when we have over a million people pushed out of Kosovo, refugees sitting in terribly squalid conditions and a real worry that we won't be able to get them back before winter.

"I think we have got to face the fact that this has been a disaster and the worst case of ethnic cleansing since the Holocaust."

However, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said: "It is a very significant breakthrough. The agreement which has been secured meets all our key objectives."

Indeed, it looks like the Anglo/US party has lost the 1st round but the battle is not over yet! Disarming the KLA? Driving the Albanian people to abide by Belgrade? Nobody's fooled....

Stay tuned for the 2nd round.
