BELGRADE Yugoslavia AP The government of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic accused Kosovo rebels Tuesday of endangering the province's shaky peace warning it won't tolerate continued attacks ``no matter what the price.'' In a statement sent to the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe the government blasted international efforts to include the rebels in the peace process for effectively ``legalizing the terrorists.'' ``Insolent criminal activity and provocative actions by Albanian terrorists present an obstacle to the peace process ... in defiance of state bodies and international appeals'' said the statement carried by the official Tanjug news agency. The strongly worded statement issued on the eve of an OSCE meeting on Kosovo in Oslo Norway signaled Milosevic's defiance as U.S. and other international mediators intensify efforts to negotiate a solution for Kosovo. U.S. envoy Christopher Hill is due in Belgrade on Wednesday with a reworked version of his draft plan for Kosovo. Hill has sought KLA support for the draft. Serbia the dominant republic in Yugoslavia has rejected the plan because it would loosen its control over the southern province whose population is dominated by independence-minded ethnic Albanians. The government is proposing a form of self-rule that would keep Kosovo firmly within Serbia. But in the statement Tuesday the Yugoslav government harsly objected to involving the KLA in the peace process and accused ethnic Albanian politicians of supporting the rebels. ``Without a resolute condemnation and adequate measures separatists and terrorists will continue attacks against the innocent population which the state will not allow no matter what the price'' said Jovanovic. The government accused the KLA rebels of carrying out 310 attacks since Milosevic and U.S. mediators negotiated an end to seven months of violence on Oct. 12. The statement said nine policemen and six civilians had been killed since then. The October deal called for withdrawal of most of Serb-led forces from Kosovo. An OSCE verifying mission is to observe the cease-fire. ``The aim of terrorists and separatists is not a political solution ... but terror violence and an attempt to change the borders'' the government said. It blasted ``contacts that representatives of various countries and organizations keep with terrorists killers kidnappers bandits and other criminals that call themselves the KLA.'' ``Such actions undermine a true political process and peaceful solution'' the government warned. A Serb government crackdown against the KLA earlier this year claimed hundreds of lives and made some 300000 people homeless. There are fears that the province could explode in renewed fighting next spring if a political solution is not found. jg/dc APW19981201.0920.txt.body.html APW19981201.1298.txt.body.html
