In the province of Kosovo, Yugoslavia, Yugoslav military and Serbian security forces have been attacking Albanians extensively and systematically. It is reported that more than 100,000 refugees have newly fled to neighboring countries in only the past few days.
Japan views the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Kosovo with grave concern.
As a result of this new assistance, Japan's assistance to the refugees and displaced persons in and around Kosovo comes to a total of about 25,000,000 U.S. dollars including that extended last year.
