Summit announcements

The Kosovo crisis represents ``a fundamental challenge to the values for which NATO has fought since its foundation: democracy, human rights and the rule of law''.

The crisis is the result of a ``deliberate policy of oppression, ethnic cleansing and violence pursued by the Belgrade regime...We will not allow this campaign of terror.''

``There can be no compromise'' on NATO demands made of Slobodan Milosevic for an end to air strikes in Kosovo.

NATO will work to ensure a ``peaceful, multi-ethnic and democratic Kosovo where all its people can live in security and enjoy universal human rights''.

Intensified economic sanctions and an embargo on oil will be implemented on Belgrade.

Defense ministers of the alliance will ``determine ways that NATO can contribute to halting the delivery of war material by launching maritime operations, taking into account the possible consequences on Montenegro''.

NATO support was for the ``democratically elected government'' inMontenegro. ``Any move by Belgrade to undermine the government of President (Milo) Djukanovic will have grave consequences.''
