Since then, Vice President Al Gore and Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott had worked on Chernomyrdin, Clinton had spoken three times to Yeltsin, and Albright had spoken almost daily with Ivanov. When he arrived last Monday, Chernomyrdin made it clear that Russia was willing to accept, at least privately, the idea of an international security force, though not necessarily a NATO-led one. The discussions continued throughout the evening at Gore's official residence (while Albright attended a state dinner) and resumed there Tuesday morning...
While some top Clinton administration officials (and even Hillary) may be pining for a photo op in the Balkan war zone, they will have to get their snapshots the hard way. When Deputy Secretary of State STROBE TALBOTT flew in to the Macedonian capital of Skopje a few weeks ago in one of the Air Force's Lockheed C-130s, he got the ride of his life.

Moscow, sidelined and ignored as NATO went to war in the Balkans, is suddenly teeming with Western leaders seeking to negotiate their way out of the Kosovo stalemate. German defense minister Rudolf Scharping discussed Kosovo with top Russian officials Wednesday, following U.S. envoy Strobe Talbott's Tuesday talks with Russia's foreign minister Igor Ivanov and Kosovo envoy Viktor Chernomyrdin. Greek foreign minister Georgios Papandreou and U.N. secretary general Kofi Annan were due to arrive for talks later in the day, while Canadian foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy was due to join the diplomatic party on Thursday...
