And even as NATO devotes resources to assisting the investigations of the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, President Clinton on Thursday answered a reporter?s question over the indictment of President Slobodan Milosevic by saying, "I do not believe that the NATO allies can invade Belgrade to try to deliver the indictment," and stressing that the alliance?s fundamental immediate obligation was the safe return of the refugees...
