'NATO Should at Long Last Strike Serbian Targets', President Rugova's Aide Says
PRISHTINA, March 24 (KIC) - "NATO should at long last strike Serbian targets", Xhemail Mustafa, a press adviser to President Ibrahim Rugova of Kosova, said today (Wednesday). "Further delaying [NATO] action is becoming pointless". Last-ditch efforts, international diplomatic initiatives in the past couple of days have failed to persuade Belgrade accept a political solution for Kosova, Mustafa said, recalling that Kosovar Albanians have accepted the Rambouillet Accords last week. 'FRY'/Serbia has arrogantly rejected these diplomatic initiatives, Rugova's aide said. Thus, the Serbian regime has clearly demonstrated it has never stood - nor does it stand now - for a political solution, but rather a military one, in Kosova, Xhemail Mustafa concluded. |

Serbs Burn Albanian Houses in Podujeva, Huge Concentration of Serb Forces, Albanian Population on the Move
PRISHTINA, March 24 (KIC) - The Serbian shelling of the villages of Podujeva area was of a lower intensity today morning, but an appalling situation prevails in the town of Podujeva and in the villages, local LDK sources in town told the KIC. Serbian forces started burning Albanian villages in a Podujeva neighborhood adjacent to 'Tabet e Llapashticës', a Serbian military and police base for three months, at the southwestern edge of the town. The Albanian population of the villages of Përpellac, Dumnicë e Epërme, Llaushë and Dumnicë e Poshtme, which have not to this day been directly affected by the ongoing warfare, have been fleeing their homes in fear of an expected Serbian forces' assault there, too. A convoy of Serbian forces, troops and armor, which had been stationed at Përpellac, at the Kosova-Serbia border, entered Kosovar territory and advanced into the center of the big village of Dumnicë e Poshtme, which has some 550 houses, virtually all Albanian. Huge Serbian military and police forces have been stationed today in the compounds of the Brick Factory in the town of Podujeva, home to 20,000 inhabitants, 99 percent of whom Albanian. Against the backdrop of a huge Serbian troop concentration and the burning of Albanian houses in the town, residents of other neighborhoods of Podujeva have been moving out towards relatively safer areas in outlying villages, local sources told the KIC. |
