We think it is part of history, this embargo, but we have to find a manner and the moment in which it can be done without any difficulty, any problem.
This is not the moment to discuss anything. This is moment to transmit and to admit sorrow, to transmit friendship.
We want to maintain the strategy at this very moment which is producing results rapidly,
We are looking with interest at that proposal. It is a proposal in which enrichment would be done outside, in Russia, but at the moment no agreement has been reached between Russia and Iran.
Therefore, a few moments ago, I instructed Gen. Clark to suspend NATO's air operations against Yugoslavia,
In this moment my thoughts go to the many persons he made suffer -- some are still alive, some are dead.

They have to think, they have to return to negotiating ? the temperature has to be lowered.
I want to tell them that they have a place, without any doubt, among the family of the European nations.
