The delegation put off its trip to the United States because of the grave situation in Kosova.

The Kosovar delegation, including President Ibrahim Rugova, were flown by a French military aircraft to Tirana/Albania and Shkup/FYROM, respectively, on Saturday.

They travelled by road to the Kosova capital today.

The President of the Republic of Kosova, Ibrahim Rugova, said in Prishtina today the situation in Kosova "awful" and pressed for an urgent international intervention.

Asked to say whether he expected NATO intervention against Serbian targets, Rugova said NATO has been deliberating about this, and it will decide on it.

"The time is quickly running out, and NATO should intervene so that no more people are killed in Kosova", President Ibrahim Rugova told reporters in front of his residence in Prishtina.

The Kosovar delegation has signed the Rambouillet accords, so the conference has ended, Ibrahim Rugova said in reply to a question.

Local LDK sources said an eight-year-old boy, Fidaim Xhemajli, the son of Rrahman Xhemajli, resident of Dobratin village of Podujeva, who had sought refuge in Tërrnavë, was killed. Rrahman (54) himself, his wife Bahtie (43), and their son Ilir (10) were wounded from the shell. Ilir was operated upon and had one of his kidneys removed.

Fatally wounded was also Rrahman's daughter, Zylfije (14), who had both of her legs cut when the Serb shell landed. She remained in the woods. Eye-witness accounts from Dyz village said she died eventually of wounds she had suffered.

Rrahman Xhemajli was staying as a refugee with a family in Tërrnavë, because his home had been burned in Dobratin during the autumn Serbian offensive.

Likewise yesterday, Nexhmi Kaçiu (47), resident of Lupç i Poshtëm, also a refugee, was wounded in Tërrnavë. He was on a tractor trying to get his family out of the village, when shrapnel from a shell that landed nearby wounded him.
