The Yugoslav delegation refused at a last-chance session on Friday morning to support the peace plan which its ethnic Albanian foes signed unilaterally on Thursday. France and Britain, co-sponsors of the talks, said the talks could not resume unless Belgrade changed course and accepted the plan, which foresees wide-ranging autonomy for the majority Albanian province but not independence as separatists wants. "Time is running out and our patience is running out," Hill later told CNN television. "This is a security situation that has to be fixed and has to be fixed fast." French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine said NATO was now beginning consultation among its members that could lead to the long-threatened air strikes against Yugoslav military positions in Kosovo.
