PRISTINA, Serbia (Reuters) - Fierce fighting raged overnight in western Kosovo, where ethnic Albanian separatists are resisting a Serb offensive, independent reports said on Wednesday. The fighting was around Decani, near the village of Glodjane, where a Serb juggernaut against the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) that had rolled across western Kosovo in the past week appears to have stalled, the reports said. "The police pushed back the KLA from the Djakovica-Decani road to the village of Glodjane," the independent Fonet news agency said. "The Serb police have remained in this position and have still not entered the village. "A Serb source said the KLA is putting up extremely strong resistance from Glodjane," Fonet said, adding that one policeman was killed and six were wounded in the area in the past 48 hours. Albanian-language dailies published in the provincial capital Pristina confirmed that large-scale fighting was under way in the Decani area. U.S. Ambassador Chris Hill was due in Pristina in the afternoon to meet Ibrahim Rugova, president of Kosovo`s majority ethnic Albanian community, as part of his continuing effort to initiate talks between the ethnic Albanians and the Belgrade authorities. The six-nation Big Power Contact Group dealing with issues arising from the breakup of Yugoslavia has submitted a draft peace plan to both sides and asked them to hold talks on it. Details of the plan have not been publicly released. Reports say it envisions a high level of autonomy for Kosovo but that the province would remain part of Serbia. The KLA has been fighting for the past six months for the total independence of Kosovo, whose population of about two million people is 90 percent ethnic Albanian.
