Some time before midnight, Defence Minister Pavle Bulatovic announced that bombs will only attack military and police targets. There have been no new developments to the conflict in Kosovo, while residents in Pristina are frantically buying food and fuel. The Pristina daily in the Serbian language, Unity , has released a statement made by the commander of the third military brigade, Nebojsa Pavkovic, who claims that Yugoslav units are prepared to fight force with force. Heads of the Kosovo Albanians have made no comment for now in regards to the NATO decision to attack, even though they have been asking for intervention by international forces for some time. An Azerbaijani official confirmed on Tuesday that Azerbaijan has withheld a Russian transport aircraft carrying six MIG fighter planes destined for Yugoslavia, against which an international embargo for the import of weapons is in place.
Russian officials are yet to comment on the incident.
The independent Azerbaijani news agency, Turan , released information that the aircraft landed in Baku on March 18 for a fuel stop. The news agency stated that 30 soldiers and engineers were accompanying the fighter planes. Personnel firstly stated that they were headed for Yugoslavia, but then restated their destination was North Korea. Two technical operatives of the Yugoslav Federal Telecommunications Ministry, backed by some 10 police officers, entered the premises of Radio B92 and instructed its staff to immediately discontinue broadcasting. The police officers entered the radio s studios and instructed all staff to instantly stop working.
