BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — The European Union plans new heating oil deliveries this week to two towns controlled by opponents of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, hoping for less severe border delays than the first shipment encountered.
Trucks carrying fuel to ease winter hardship in the southern Serbian towns of Nis and Pirot were held up by Yugoslav customs officials for almost two weeks and arrived only last Tuesday. The new shipments, due to depart from the Macedonian capital, Skopje, were expected to reach the border early today.
