Yugoslavia Calls for Dialogue With Kosovo LeadersYugoslav Prime Minister Zoran Zizic on Wednesday urged Kosovo leaders to hold talks with his government so as to solve the divisions between the Albanians and Serbs in the province.Speaking to the press, Zizic, who is here for a brief visit at the UN headquarters in New York, said "I am ready to talk to the representatives of Kosovo Albanians, under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General." "The talks could take place either in the Yugoslav capital Belgrade, Kosovo's provincial capital Pristina or at UN headquarters in New York," the prime minister said. He said there would be no basis for building a multi-ethnic multi-cultural and multi-religious society in Kosovo if there are no such talks. Kosovo, the southern Serbian province of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, is now under UN administration. The UN mandate in Kosovo is to create a democratic autonomy but not the independence demanded by the ethnic Albanians.
