 TEXT TEXTS
 The daily speaks about a Pyrrhic victory which signals a great
 deal of trouble ahead for the Balkans.
 If Montenegro goes independent, it says, all other separatist
 movements and undercurrents so typical for the Balkans might
 emerge.   Yugoslavia will cease to exist and so will its president,
 Vojislav Kostunica, on whom Western politicians have pinned their
 hopes.
 Thus, PRACA warns, the Western politicians who used to back
 Djukanovic's separatism ware reaping the benefit; of what they
 sowed, for in the new situation which has come at in the
 Balkans, the division of Yugoslavia could have fatal consequences".
 Mr fix-it?
 Ahead of the presentation by the French government on Tuesday
 of new "measures aimed at tightening up the economic legislation ,
 notably regarding redundancies. in a context of bt  job loss
 announcements, the daily LIBEATION carries a cartoon of Jospln
 which covers two-thirds of its' front page, headlined:
 "Redundancless    Jospln fixes the prices".
 It shows the prime minister surrounded by huge taps, bearing
 the names of big companies - such as Marks and Spencer, Danone and
 Dim - which have recently announced closing plans in France.
 People are pouring from the taps into a large protesting crowd that
 a barefooted and unsteady Jospln is attempting to cross.
 Taking the biscuit in Hungary
 The Budapest daily MAGYAR HIRLAP reflects on what it calls
 "perhaps Hungary's first close encounter with globalization", the
 then French multinationalhfoodsgroupfiDtanane local biscuit factory by

 The problem's global nature Is also reflected by the fact that
 Hungary is not alone with its problem, Danone has also announced
 similar closures in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy, the
 paper says.
 Referring to the old traditions of the Hungarian biscuit
 factory "as part of the national culture", the paper says=    "the
 plan might be Justified in business terms, but certainly not in
 social terms".
 In the light of large-scale protests by employees and
 sympathetic consumers  the paper even questions the business
 rationale behind the decision:
 "It is doubtful whether the outrage will not have a fatal
 impact on Danone".
 UFO sector in recession
 At a time when international groups such as Danone and Mark and
 Spencer have announced closing plans which have given rise to
 strong protests in France, the French LE FIGARO decries another
 closure, but in Britain this time.
 * "The very official British Flying Saucer Bureau has stopped its
 *UFOs,""it eapapertsaysain a kind of paa mphletyontt dayssrworld of
 "But, this time, profits have nothing to do with it.    It is
 the aliens who are to blame and even French Communist Leader Robert
 Hue is powerless against that," it continues with the same hit of
 irony.
 * "One must know that the flyying saucer sector is in recession,"
 it says, quoting figure  :     "The 1,500 ufologists working for the
 *Bureau used to report a~t 38 UFOs a year and today? Nothing,
 nothing at all!".
 According to the head of the Bureau, the reason is probably
 that "our cousins from 'overplanets' have finished their scientific
 programme of exploration".
