NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Bujanovac, in southern Serbia, where ethnic Albanian militants have been waging an insurgency. Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica is demanding that the United Nations and NATO peacekeepers stop the insurgents from crossing from Kosovo into the buffer zone along the border with Serbia proper. At the same time, Kostunica has taken steps to improve relations with the majority ethnic Albanian population in the Presevo Valley. The U.N. Security Council meets tomorrow to discuss the issue.
