The Times OpinionA threat too late Mr Milosevic has bowed before the prospect of invasion.
Nothing is new.
The devil is always in the detail. Slobodan Milosevic yesterday again pulled his country back from a certain sort of brink. He also hauled Nato back from the ghastliness of embarking on a ground war in landlocked Europe. According to information from Belgrade, the catalyst was a specific threat delivered by Martti Ahtisaari from Bill Clinton. It was the one threat that Nato had so far declined to offer, not a continuation of bombing but a ground invasion of Kosovo in which America would be a full participant.
