Clinton Leaves for Europe for G-8 Summit 　　US President Bill Clinton is leaving Washington on June 15 night for Europe to launch a costly rebuilding plan for war-torn Kosovo and other nations troubled by the crisis in the Balkans. 　　Clinton is expected to address the conference of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in Geneva on June 16 and pay a visit to France on June 17. 　　From June 18 to June 19, Clinton will join the G-8 summit in Cologne, Germany, which is to be attended also by leaders of Britain, France, Canada, Germany, Japan, Italy and Russia. 　　A major task facing Clinton during his trip will be to work together with leaders of the big powers and map out a reconstruction plan for the Balkans. 　　"The coming months will be a period of return and reconstruction," Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said on June 14 at a White House briefing. 　　"As President Clinton consults with his colleagues this week, he will do all he can to ensure that the effort is well launched," Albright said. 　　The 78-day bombing campaign by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has destroyed a lot of infrastructure in Yugoslavia, including its province of Kosovo, and displaced tens of thousands of Kosovars. 　　Referring to the rebuilding of Kosovo, Albright said that European nations will bear the largest share of the financial burden because the United States absorbed the heaviest cost of the bombing campaign.
