Chairman of the European Union – Germany has proposed the plan for resolving the Kosovo crisis, which anticipates 24-hour suspension of NATO actions, in order to give time to Belgrade to withdraw its troops from Kosovo. The plan also covers establishment of provisional international administration for Kosovo, and military control would be trusted to NATO. RTV BiH reporter from Brussels said that according to unofficial information, UN Secretary General Annan is prepared to demand instant cessation of NATO strikes, should Milosevic accepts the peace plan. At the regular NATO briefing in Brussels, it was confirmed that the Yugoslav Army has violated Albanian territorial integrity, as it entered the area of the Kamenica village in north Albania, but has withdrawn soon after that.

Chief Prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal, Arbour also visited Brussels today, and said at the press conference, that the possibility of indicting Milosevic for war crimes is not excluded, if there is enough evidence.
