Only helicopters can be used to send aid to them while activists of the emergency council in Plava have called on international humanitarian institutions to urgently intervene to help the refugees, CIK said. Head of the emergency council in Plava, Musa Go aj, said to CIK that some 475 people have arrived in Plava during the last three days. Go aj said that 1.000 people arrived on Friday some 15 km from Plava and should be transported to Plava. The same sources said that five to seven thousand people are on their way to Montenegro. Their situation is grave because there are also injured, sick persons among them including children and elderly people.
Unconfirmed sources report of three dead.
Some 8.500 Albanians fleeing their houses in Kosova have been settled in the commune of Plava and other possible influx is expected, according the latest reports. According to KIC, since Thursday morning Serb forces have started to shell some of Drenice villages. Sources of the Council for the Defence of Human Rights in Skenderaj report that intensive shelling was made from the positions of Serb police near Llaushe, while lower intensive bombing was made in the villages Tice and Plluzhine. In the conditions when the conflict in Kosove is assuming extraordinary proportions of violence, the highest ranking personalities of politics and defence continue to discuss the idea of stepping up the NATO pressure in Kosove and the way military intervention for the solution to the conflict will be realised. Our opinion for the road the Albanian army has to follow for this question is that the depots must be reduced in number.
