Contents Summary
Serbian Television Evening News (RTS 1):
- Dr. Vojislav Seselj on NATO involvement in the Kosovo crisis: no foreign troops in Yugoslavia, Kosovo can not secede from Serbia, against Arbitrary Commission decision to change status of Brcko.
- News brief: KLA attacks policemen and border patrol in area of Zur, Brezna and Dragas – OSCE was informed of the attack; Bulgarian Charge d'Affaires Todor Kavaldjiev meets Yugoslav ambassador to Bulgaria Srecko Djukic to discuss Kosovo crisis; Henry Kissinger testifies before Congress: U.S. involvement in Kosovo is a bad idea, deployment of NATO troops is an invasion of a sovereign state.

Report on foreign media coverage:
- French Liberation publishes commentary from Defense editor where he sharply criticizes use of force, NATO threats to Yugoslavia are illegal and absurd; Russian press: Richard Holbrooke fails to impose the wish of his employers on to Yugoslavia, Milosevic reiterated Yugoslavia's position regarding Kosovo; Chinese press: Milosevic/Holbrooke meeting – Milosevic refused foreign troops, Yugoslavia fighting terrorism, not war in Kosovo; British Daily Telegraph: unacceptable to influence political solution with force; British Guardian: Kosovo Albanians should not be allowed to rule over Kosovo's other minorities; Spanish El Pais: Holbrooke always arrives to Belgrade with empty threats (all cited).
