Washington -- NATO military actions will continue until ethnic cleansing in Kosovo "is reversed and justice...done," Alliance spokesman Jamie Shea told reporters April 6 as NATO moved into the second week of its air campaign against Yugoslav Army and military targets.

"Allied governments share the view that those who are responsible" for the violations of human rights in Kosovo and who promoted international war crimes against humanity will be held accountable, Shea said during a briefing at Alliance headquarters in Belgium. "There will be no impunity and no hiding place," he added.

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's President Slobodan Milosevic has "no alternative but to meet the demands of the international community," Shea said. Milosevic "bears full responsibiity for the human tragedy" of Kosovo.

Asked about allied public opinion, Shea pointed out that "all allies are rock solid on the decision to keep going." Generally, he said, public opinion recognizes and "understands the need to put a stop to a humanitarian catastrophe in the heart of Europe" where a quarter of a million refugees have been put on the run.

Shea also expressed Alliance gratitude for Albania's help and solidarity as NATO forces carry out a "superhuman effort" to provide humanitarian assistance to the Kosovar Albanian refugees who have flooded that nation. Albania has also given permission to allow 24 U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopters and a task force of around 2,000 American troops to deploy to Albanian territory for use if NATO needs them.

"NATO would view with the utmost seriousness any attack by Yugoslavia on Albania, particularly as a consequence of its support for Alliance operations," he added.

The spokesman also said evidence continues to be collected in support of human rights abuses and war crimes carried out in Kosovo. This has included reports of summary executions in some 50 towns and villages throughout Kosovo, the looting of Kosovar homes and businesses, the detention of Kosovar men of military age, and the expulsion of civilians from their homes at gunpoint.

Shea's political analysis of the situation in the Balkans came as the air campaign reportedly intensified against Yugoslav targets such as police headquarters, ammunition and fuel storage facilities, bridges used as communications and supply lines, air defense radars, and armored groupings.

Answering a question from a reporter in Brussels about a resurgence of Serbian nationalism driven by NATO's air campaign against targets in Belgrade, Shea said he expected such nationalism to be "short-lived."

With reports circulating April 6 of a possible unilateral Yugoslav cease-fire, the NATO spokesman said that after the Kosovo crisis is over the international community will look to see what can be done to help the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia "emerge from its status as a pariah state." NATO's quarrel has consistently been with the government of Belgrade, Shea and other allied officials have repeatedly stated, and not with the people of Yugoslavia.
