RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR WARNS PRAGUE ABOUT NATO MEMBERSHIP.

Ambassador Nikolai Ryabov yesterday suggested that Moscow would "reconsider" providing natural gas and nuclear fuel to the Czech Republic should it join NATO. He also said that Moscow was concerned about losing former Warsaw Pact members as customers for Russian arms, a potential development that he said would be a "real blow for the Russian economy."
