Re: Syndicate: STRIKES ON MILITARY TARGETS IN YUGOSLAVIA

["lisa haskel" <lisa@lisa.demon.co.uk>]

dear marko, dear all,

Thanks for your posting and the important points that you raise. It 
is always the case that those who know how and whom to ask, and who 
are already known, will be the ones that get.   Those who understand 
this should try to break the cycle, even though we also recognise 
that the needs of b92 are real and urgent. 

I also agree that we cannot assume we know what is required on 
the ground.  What do you or others among us know already from the 
contacts you have? do you have suggestions?
