Kosovar Health Care Institutions Press for Humanitarian Corridor in Drenica

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - Kosova Albanian doctors have appealed today for a humanitarian corridor be established in Drenica so to be able to provide medical assistance to the affected population in the area.
In an appeal addressed today to the Geneva-based World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Binak Kastrati, chairman of the Doctors Association of Kosova, Dr. Isuf Dedushaj, chairman of the Kosova Red Cross, and Dr. Hashim Maloku, Dean of the Medical Faculty of the Prishtina University say they have credible information that wounded people are suffering under the ruined houses in Drenica, targeted by Serb artillery on Thursday.
The Serb-run medical institution have not "shown any sign of will to fulfil their duty", whereas Albanian medical crews have been denied access to the area which has sealed off by Serb forces.
The Kosova doctors warn that Albanian population in 14 Drenica villages of Drenica under the siege of Serb forces have urgently need medical and sanitary equipment, as well as food supplies.
"We rally count on your urgent support and solidarity", reads the appeal of the Kosova doctors sent to WHO.

‘Milosevic Has Got to Call the Dogs of Repression Back’, US Department Spokesman Says

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - The situation in Kosovo is very serious and there will be serious negative consequences for the Belgrade regime as a result of this latest outrage operations, the US State Department James Foley said in a press briefing on Thursday.
The first step will be the withdrawal of the positive measures Special Representative Gelbard previewed with Mr. Milosevic during a visit in Belgrade last week, Foley said. "We will explore with the Contact Group Ministers on Monday in London additional coordinated measures in response to these events," he said.
James Foley said that the U.S. has proposed that independent outside authorities investigate the deaths of a number of Kosovar Albanians who were killed in violence last weekend. "There are credible reports that they were, in fact, executed while in the custody of Serb police", he said, and added that according to credible reports Serb police operations have been going on in Kosova.
"The United States strongly condemns the violence in Kosovo this weekend, particularly the excessive use of force by Serbian police. This violence results from the failure of Serbian authorities to recognize the legitimate grievances of the Kosovar-Albanian population", Foley said.
The State Department said that the U.S. message to both parties is that difficulties in Kosovo cannot be solved through the use of force. "But we believe that the Kosovar people - Albanian Kosovars in Kosovo have legitimate political grievances. They have a right to an enhanced status within the FRY, to greater self-administration. These are fundamental political rights and grievances which have not been addressed, and which are the ultimate source of the violence which has occurred in the last days" her said.
"Without wanting to exaggerate, the situation is very grave. Some terrible, repressive acts have occurred. Innocent people have been killed. That’s why we’re calling for independent outside authorities to investigate those killings", James Foley said, noting that all the sides have been urged to remain calm and exercise restraint.
Speaking of the seriousness of conflict spillover, Mr Foley said the U.S. has "always believed that Kosovo has implications beyond Kosovo, beyond the FRY region-wide. That’s why the situation there is so critical, and that’s why we are going to be meeting in the Contact Group on this basis, to deal with this issue. We think, indeed, that violence in Kosovo can have an impact beyond Kosovo, and it is critical that the international community come together, as they will on Monday, and make it crystal clear to Mr. Milosevic that he’s got to call the dogs of repression back and must sit down and negotiate with the Kosovar Albanians - the moderate leadership there - on the kinds of reforms that will be necessary to diffuse the situation.
Asked whether U.S. has recognized Milosevic’s systematic effort to destabilize Kosovo, Mr. Foley said: "He has shown a record over the last decade as a tactician of some ability, but not usually demonstrated an ability to think long-term, to think about the long-term interests of his people in the region; although we have recognized positive steps on Dayton implementation when he has taken those.
"Whether it involves a conscious long-range design or mere tactical
maneuvers, the fact of the matter is that the repression that is taking place is totally unacceptable to the international community and will have the most severe consequences.
Mr Foley did not rule in or out the United States or Europe role in a dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.
"I think, as far as the United States is concerned, what is important is not so much who is doing the mediating as the fact that the two sides are coming together and sitting down at the table and discussing differences, and discussing the implementation of the real reforms that will address the root cause of the violence and address the just grievances of the Kosovar Albanian people" James Foley said.

UNHCR Is Considering Contingency Plans for Kosova

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - UNHCR and other Geneva-based aid agencies were making contingency plans in case the violence in Kosova spreads and leads to an exodus of refugees, the news agency Reuters said today.
Reuters has quoted the UNHCR spokesman Kris Janowski as saying that "the UNHCR is extremely alarmed by the upsurge in violence in Kosovo" and there is fear that the kind of ethnic bloodshed seen in Bosnia may occur there.
Janowski said that there were reports that large numbers of women and children have fled Drenica but it could not confirm them as three municipalities, Skenderaj (Srbica), Gllogovc and Klina remained sealed off by Serb security forces.

Stern Verbal Warnings Will No Longer Suffice, IHF Says

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - The International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights (IHF) and its affiliates from Serbia, Kosova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden called upon the Contact Group and the United Nations Security Council to take immediate steps to prevent further summary executions, torture, and ethnic cleansing by Serbian police units in Kosova.
The IHF recommended that the Contact Group members agree on a common strategy, one that will lead to an end to the police terror and armed violence on both sides and to internationally mediate negotiations aimed at a political solution for Kosova.
"The Contact Group members cannot allow diverging approaches and inertia to render them powerless, to the advantage of those who would undertake systematic murder and ethnic cleansing with impunity. Stern verbal warnings will no longer suffice.
The IHF called for a "Dayton-like" process, adding that only a similar investment of political energy can prevent further massive human rights violations and violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.
"The IHF fears that recent and ongoing murders and terror by Serbian police units are premeditated elements of a program of ethnic cleansing aimed at driving Albanians into a new political reality, leaving a rump Kosovo free of Albanians, said IHF in a statement issued Friday.

Serb Forces Resume Attack on Albanian Villages in Drenica

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - There was random shooting all night long in the Drenica villages, which were under continued heavy Serb fire yesterday (Thursday).
Today morning, an armed attack resumed on Prekaz, a village in Skenderaj (in Serbian ‘Srbica’) in central Kosova which bore the brunt of Serb police and military operations yesterday.
Sources from surrounding villages said Serb forces have started shelling other houses of the Jasharaj family compound in Prekaz, which had survived yesterday’s shelling.
Serb Ministry of the Interior said Thursday it had killed 20 Albanians in the village, branding the victims ‘terrorists’.
The number of dead and wounded among local Albanians could be much higher, given the fact that heavy Serb shelling targeted the villages all day, leaving at least a dozen houses ruined or burned down to the ground.
A sources at Llausha, a village bordering on Prekaz, said today morning two busloads of Serb policemen had reached Prekaz.
Sources from Mitrovica tell today that fresh Serb forces were heading for Skenderaj. Reports from Gllogovc said two armored cars and two busloads of Serb policemen left the town this morning, leaving for Skenderaj.
Shooting with fire-arms were reported in the Rakinica and Açareva villages in Skenderaj.
Reports from Mitrovica and Vushtrri speak of hundreds of Albanian families having fled the Drenica area and to have sought shelter elsewhere. A number of evacuee families are reported to have gone to Lipjan, Shtimje and Gllogovc.

Serb Forces Besiege Llausha

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - Huge Serbian forces have reinforced today the siege of Llausha, a village bordering on Prekaz.

It is feared during the Serb armed attack the members of the family of Shaban Jashari, including many children, have been killed.
The homestead of Shaban Jashari was burned to the ground, eye-witness said last evening.
The family of Shaban Jashari was attacked by Serb forces on 2 January 1988. Two young women in the family had received gunshot wounds.

Serb Police Mendacity

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - The Serbian Ministry of the Interior accused yesterday the media for writing falsehoods, attributing to Serb police what it had not done.
Yet, this very Ministry, in a statement issued last evening, engages in falsehoods itself. It said during actions of 28 February and 1 March in Drenica, Serb police forces killed 16 Albanian ‘terrorists’.
It is a commonplace fact by now that the following 25 Albanians were killed last weekend: Beqir Sejdiu, Nazmi Sejdiu, Bekim Sejdiu, Bedri Sejdiu, Xhemshir Nebiu, Rukie Nebihu, Ilir Nebihu, Rexhep Rexhepi, Beqir Rexhepi, Muhamet Gjela, Naser Gjela, Ahmet Ahmeti (50), Gani Ahmeti (47), Ilmi Ahmeti (43), Hamëz Ahmeti (45), Driton Ahmeti (23), Naim Ahmeti (22), Basri Ahmeti (20), Shemsi Ahmeti (16), Lumni Ahmeti (20), Elhami Ahmeti (20), Behram Fazliu (65), Ibish Rama, Ismail Behrami dhe Bekim Deliu.
Members of four families (ten Ahmeti ones) make the majority of those killed by Serb forces in their own houses or yards.

Serb Security in Plain Clothes Maltreat Albanians in the Streets of Klina

PRISHTINA, March 6 (KIC) - Sources in Klina said this morning that Serb security and police in plain clothes have been harassing and physically ill-treating Albanians on the streets of this small town in central Kosova.
Ismet Rraci, chairman of the local LDK branch in Klina told Kosova Information Center (KIC) that Serb security ill-treated dozens of Albanians on Thursday and today morning. Some were detained and subjected to severe beating while in custody. Ismet Rraci said he witnessed himself the apprehension of about ten Albanians in the Klina town center this morning.
LDK sources in Klina said that Serb security and police officers in plain cloths arrested Thursday several Albanians who were later tortured fiercely outside the police premises. They were taken near the banks of the Drini river and were beaten brutally.
The movement of local Albanian population in Klina has been drastically restricted amidst stepped up campaigns of oppression and intimidation by Serb police and armed Serb civilians.
