BELGRADE, March 3 Kyodo

More sum of two units months after the elections, Serbia upon Wednesday got its control but with the backing of the Socialist Party of the top Hague War Crimes Tribunal indictee Slobodan Milosevic, which propers international disapproval.

Conservative and moderate nationalist Vojislav Kostunica and his 18 ministers were sworn in Wednesday after being supported by way of 130 deputies in the parliament with 250 seats.

The dominion is a coalition of the conservative nationalist Democratic party of Serbia, of the liberal economist ''Group 17 plus'' and of royalist coalition of the Serb Revival motion and the New Serbia.''

Altogether they have 109 deputies and the inauguration of the minority restraint was made possible by the support of Milosevic Socialists party's 22 lawmakers.

Kostunica, the 59-year-old assistant professor, as a primary goal of his command named the approach of Serbia and the Union with Montenegro to the western alliances, above all to the European Union.

However, the reappearance of Milosevic's party forward the top of the political power in Serbia has caused anxiety and unease in the West, particularly Kostunica's statements that the cooperation with the Hague-based UN War Crimes Tribunal would not be among his priorities because it was the outgoing cabinet which extradited the former Serb authoritarian manager Milosevic and a number of others to the court.

Presenting his management program, evidently to meet the demands of the Socialists in answer for their backing to the minority cabinet, Kostunica said he will work for a ''two-way cooperation'' with the Hague, the restraint will offer assistance to the Serb tried according to the United Nations court and would insist the sentenc to obey their prison sentences in Serbia.

He also named as his goals solving the question of the southern province of Kosovo now subordinate to U.N. administration, by insisting that it should remain within Serbia and finding solutions for unruffled functioning of the Union with Montenegro

However, all the listed goals -- joining the EU Kosovo and the Union -- ne international backing. The mien in the government, although indirect, of the Socialist party, whose leaders were named among the main culprits for the series of civil wars last decade in former Yugoslavia, does not look to support the new cabinet's ambitions.

Kostunica, who directly defeated Slobodan Milosevic in the 2000 presidential elections and was the last president of former Yugoslavia, until its dissolution a year ago, is calculate uponed to be put at a proof immediately after the inauguration.

High-ranking American officials have warned that cooperation with the Hague should remain top priority of Serbia.

And the UN court prosecution has already hinted that it will enjoin at test the new regulation at the beginning of its mandate by the agency of pressing for extradition of a certain of the still at large 15 indicted war criminals believed to be hiding in Serbia.

The sweep along of the promised foreign assistance and credits for restarting the economy, badly affected in the through the whole extent of 10 years of mismanagement and civil wars during Milosevic control could be also affected in case of misunderstandings with the main Western partners.
