It's something Kosovars have been waiting for, for months.
Late this afternoon, Yugoslav and NATO generals signed an agreement for a Serb pullout from Kosovo.
It spells out how Yugoslav forces will achieve military compliance with NATO conditions.
If Serb forces comply it will mean an end to the air campaign- perhaps in a matter of hours.

A researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health says coffee may stimulate gallbladder contraction.
And he says it may lower cholesterol that can form gallstones.
The researcher says this is no reason to start drinking coffee.
But he says it may be good news to people who drink it already.
