accept carry clear firm message obtain pledge president principles quite simply sure verifiable willing
I'm quite sure that if President Ahtisaari does go to Belgrade, he will carry a firm message that he's not there to negotiate, that he's there to obtain from Milosevic an unambiguous, clear and verifiable pledge that Belgrade is willing not simply to accept the principles of the G-8 but to put them into practice.

What we are seeing is a safari operation ongoing by Serb security forces against Kosovo Albanians. First, there is a pattern of shelling into the hills, beating them out of the bush if you like. Then they are on the roads ... being moved hither and thither, particularly being mixed up with military vehicles of course on those roads. Then they are put into trains and sent to borders but sometimes when they arrive they are sent back again.
refugees using weapon
We've prevented Milosevic from using refugees as a weapon to destabilize neighboring countries.
