Belgrade - NATO-led peacekeepers in Kosovo cannot solve the problem of ethnic Albanian guerrillas fighting police on the province's boundary in southern Serbia, President Vojislav Kostunica said yesterday.
The reformist President said: "Ways of solving the problem must be sought from other directions. . . The international forces of Kfor in Kosovo have, despite their numbers, shown their powerlessness," Mr Kostunica told journalists. Mr Kostunica also repeated to the French daily Le Figaro his opposition to sending his predecessor, Mr Slobodan Milosevic, abroad for trial but spoke admiringly of how South Africa and Chile had handled similar problems.
