PRISTINA, July 13: Diplomats worked today to find a new approach to resolving the crisis in Kosovo, where the latest clashes have claimed the lives of at least two Serb policemen, Serb sources said to day.

In Bonn today, German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel telephoned his counterparts in the six-nation contact group searching for a diplomatic solution to discuss new ideas for ending the fighting, his spokesman Martin Erdmann said.

Yesterday, Kinkel and Russia’s Yevgeny Primakov met in Moscow and discussed "new, creative possibilities" for Kosovo, where the ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army is fighting for independence from Serbia.

In an interview published in the Berlin daily Tagesspiegel today, Kinkel hinted at a conference like the Dayton Peace Accord which ended the Bosnian war in 1995.
