Ne tako davno Gaddafi Given Yugoslavia\'s Top Medal By Milosevic Reuters Tuesday, October 26 1999 06:22 AM EDT TUNIS (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has received Yugoslavia\'s highest decoration from President Slobodan Milosevic in recognition of his efforts to boost bilateral relations, the official Libyan news agency JANA said Tuesday. JANA, monitored in Tunis, said the ``Great Star\'\' medal had been brought to Libya by Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister Zoran Lilic, a close associate of Milosevic. Libya, the only Arab country to have condemned NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia during the Kosova crisis earlier this year, is an important supplier of oil to Yugoslavia. Gaddafi kept close contact with Milosevic during the Yugoslav leader\'s crackdown on the mainly Muslim ethnic Albanians of Kosova that was halted by 11 weeks of NATO air strikes on the Balkan country.
