Summary
Commends efforts of the international contact group (the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and Italy) in support of a resolution of the conflict in Kosova. Opposes termination of international or U.S. sanctions against the Government of Serbia and Montenegro, unless such termination serves to support a peaceful resolution to the repression in Kosova. Urges the United States to: (1) consult with its allies and other members of the United Nations on reimposing sanctions against Serbia-Montenegro Montenegro that were terminated following the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995 if Serbian authorities continue to use unlawful violence against the Albanian people of Kosova; (2) acknowledge recent developments in Montenegro that indicate that the new leadership of that Republic is seeking a peaceful resolution to the repression in Kosova; and (3) recognize positive actions by the Montenegro Government regarding repression in Kosova through exclusion from sanctions that may be applied to the Serbian Government. Urges that: (1) the elections in Kosova scheduled on March 22, 1998, be allowed to proceed unimpeded by Belgrade; (2) all parties refrain from acts that could lead to heightened tensions in Kosova; (3) the agreement on education in Kosova be implemented immediately; and (4) the elected leaders of Kosova begin a dialog with the authorities in Belgrade to resolve the present situation and to provide for the exercise of the legitimate civil and political rights of the Albanian people of Kosova.
