		Belgrade, April 27 (Beta) - Reorganized Yugoslav federation might resemble the Swiss Confederation, it was concluded at the meeting between Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica and President of the Swiss Confederation Moritz Leuenberger.
		The federation of Serbia and Montenegro should be defined as a minimum, but effective federation, providing lots of room for national sovereignty and autonomy of its federal units, Kostunica stressed, assessing that the Montenegrin elections had made it clear that the republic's detachment was the "least feasible solution".
		During the meeting, Kostunica and Leuenberger reviewed other topical issues in Yugoslavia, such as southern Serbia and security situation in Kosovo, and discussed cooperation between Yugoslavia and Switzerland, which played an important role in Yugoslavia's reintegration in international institutions, particularly the financial ones.

		At a memorial ceremony near the crash site in southern Germany, Swiss transport Minster Moritz Leuenberger sought to address Russian anger about early statements from Swiss air traffic control that appeared to blame the pilot of the Bashkirian Airlines plane, whose passengers included 45 school students headed for a Spanish beach vacation.
