PEACE PLAN HIGHLIGHTS An end to the fighting in Kosovo A quick and verifiable withdrawal of Yugoslav and Serb forces from Kosovo, after which NATO will halt the airstrikes that began March 24. Deployment to Kosovo of a security force "with essential NATO participation" -- shorthand for a NATO-dominated, well-armed peacekeeping force. The safe and free return of all 850,000-plus ethnic Albanian refugees expelled, mostly to Albania and Macedonia, since March. "Substantial autonomy" for Kosovo.

BELGRADE -- Following is the full text of a document on regulating the conflict over Kosovo accepted by the Serbian parliament Thursday:

The document, a copy of which was obtained and translated into English by Reuters, is entitled "Proposals brought by the EU envoy, the Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari and The Special envoy of the President of the Russian federation for Balkans Victor Chernomyrdin."

It reads:

"In order to approach a solution to the Kosovo crisis, an agreement on the following principles should be achieved:

1. An immediate and verifiable end of violence and repression in Kosovo.

2. The verifiable withdrawal of all military, police and paramilitary forces from Kosovo according to a speedy time schedule.

3. The stationing in Kosovo, under a U.N. mandate, of effective international, civilian and military presences that could act in line with a possible decision according to Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter and be able to guarantee realization of the mutual interests.

4. An international security presence, with fundamental participation by NATO, must be placed under unified command and control and authorized to maintain safe surroundings for the population in Kosovo and to facilitate the safe return of displaced individuals and refugees to their homes.

5. The establishment of a provisional administration for Kosovo as part of the international civilian presence that would be decided upon by the U.N. Security Council under which the people of Kosovo would enjoy meaningful autonomy within the FRY (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). A provisional administration to maintain the provisional government while democratic self-rule institutions are set up and surveyed to create conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all citizens of Kosovo.

6. After the withdrawal, an agreed number of Yugoslav and Serbian personnel would be allowed to return in order to fulfill the following duties:
   • contact with the international civilian mission and international security presence

   • mark mine fields and participate in clearance

   • maintain presence at places of Serb national heritage

   • maintain presence at key border crossing points.

7. The safe and free return of all refugees and displaced persons under the surveillance of the UNHCR and free access for humanitarian organizations to Kosovo.

8. A political process geared at establishing a provisional, political, general agreement that guarantees meaningful self-rule for Kosovo with full consideration of the Rambouillet agreement and principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FRY and other states in the region, as well as demilitarization of the KLA (ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army). Negotiations between the sides regarding the solution should not postpone or hinder the establishment of democratic self-rule institutions.

A general approach to economic development and stabilization of the crisis region. That would entail the implementat ion of the Pact on Stability for Southeast Europe with broad international participation to enable further improvement of democracy, economic prosperity, stability and regional co-operation.

10. The end of military activities would entail the acceptance of these principles as well as agreement to other previously identified and demanded elements specified in the footnote. Then a military-technical agreement would be concluded and cover other modalities including the role and function of Yugoslav/Serbian personnel in Kosovo.
