Three reporters from the New York Times were expelled from the country, spokeswoman Nancy Nielsen said. In ordering the expulsions, the Serb government said the journalists had aided the NATO campaign to force Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to agree to a peace deal with ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.
