Kosovo & Metohia Events

Protosyncellos Miron Kosac has reported from Prizren than another Serbian house was set on fire. That is Vesa Stanisic's house. Father Miron has also conveyed a testimony of a Serbian woman from Musutiste who says that Rade Jovanovic, Svetlana Bozovic and her daughter were killed. These three Serbs were killed in their houses. Sixteen Serbs out of nineteen that lived at Bogosevac village, near Prizren, have moved to Prizren Seminary; only three men have stayed in the village. These Serbs have left the village since they did not feel safe under KFOR protection.

This morning, at 01:00, three Albanians wearing KLA uniforms have attacked with knifes Serbian doctors on duty - Milan Jakovljevic and Vera Obradovic - at the Internal Medicine Department of the hospital in Kosovska Mitrovica. The doctors have suffered minor injuries. The other Serbs in the hospital have saved them. KFOR has appeared half an hour after the incident. The Serbian doctors and other medical staff have held a protest meeting this morning, because of the insufficient protection of the medical staff in this hospital.

The Serbs from Gracanica still request of KFOR to find and set free their townsman Milivoje Popovic and other Serbs that the Albanians kidnapped. They have blocked the road Gnjilane - Pristina.

KFOR representative, major Bohem stated yesterday in Gnjilane that this town turned into a horrible town. However, he did not say who makes it horrible, nor who creates chaos in inter-ethnical relationships, but before saying this, the esteemed KFOR representative had spoken about Albanians' readiness to cooperate. Church-people Board in Gnjilane has reported that Ivan Atanasov died yesterday of torment consequences inflicted by the Albanians.

The Russian soldiers from KFOR, who got the task to undertake their duties in Orahovac, have still been prevented from entering the town by the Albanians, behind who - according to Mr Tachi's open statement - stands KLA. Apart from the total living insecurity in the Albanian surroundings, the confined Serbs in Orahovac are at the verge of starvation, since they now use their last food supplies.
