    YUGOSLAV ARMY ON ALERT

    The Supreme Headquarters of the the Yugoslav Army on Friday
    announced that the army had begun measures to protect Yugoslavia
    against fallout from the Albanian crisis. The Army Information
    Serbice said that Yugoslavia was not directly endangered, but that
    some negative effects were possible. The army is believed to be
    concern that Albanian extremists in Kosovo may emulate the rebel
    seizure of police and army weapons in Albania.


    SFOR EVACUATES FOREIGNERS IN ALBANIA

    Six SFOR transport helicopters arrived at Podgorica airport on
    Friday, en route to Albania, where they will evacuate foreign
    diplomats and others. Yugoslavia has permitted the use of its
    territory for humanitarian evacuations. Yugoslav citizens in
    Tirana will also be evacuated.


    DJUKANOVIC DISCUSSES FEDERATION IN US

    Fonet quotes American sources as saying that the future of the
    Yugoslav federation was the main topic for discussions between
    Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic and US officials in
    Washington last week. This had not previously been reported
    because of the sensitivity of this issue, and because of the state
    media war between Serbia and Montenegro. However, Mr Djukanovic
    had openly referred to Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and
    his policies as the main obstacle to Yugoslavia's recovery from
    crisis. Immediately before returning to Yugoslavia, Mr Djukanovic
    repeated that the future of Yugoslavia did not belong to Mr
    Milosevic.
