If there were to be clear and unambiguous evidence that (Yugoslav President Slobodan) Milosevic was meeting the conditions, and that he seemed to be doing so, then we would consider a bombing pause to allow an orderly withdrawal of his forces.
We want joint decision-making in certain areas which would need consensus 'at 20' and obviously we would work to get it, on the other hand nobody can deny the right of NATO to act as 19 if it decides to do so.
Despite the victory of democratic forces in Yugoslavia and its opening up to the world, the international community is not fulfilling its obligation to Yugoslavia.
Yes, of course it would because there would be no veto over NATO operations by Russia or any other non-NATO members, that's never been the situation and Mr Putin has made it clear that he does not want it either.
The message of NATO and the message of these demonstrators is very clear: Milosevic is a loser.
When we make that contention, we don't do so without evidence that makes that contention possible.
There is a chance for a breakthrough and I certainly am urging the Macedonian Government to seize that opportunity.
We did the right thing, we did the only thing. We stopped a great evil.
This country is still on a knife-edge but in the last three days the government has regained confidence, regained ground and regained the initiative.
