Serbian forces have been holding captive another 150 Albanians. Between 15,000 and 20,000 have been streaming towards Albania, whereas some 15,000 towards Montenegro, Cacaj assessed. In the deserted villages, the bodies of 45 killed people lye unburied in the heat. Fearing Serb sniper fire, nobody dares go out, pick up and bury the dead, Cacaj said. In addition, there are many killed cattle in the fields, a source of potential outbreak of epidemics.
Some villages have electricity.
Mr. Cacaj said last night Serbian forces prompted two incidents during their raids and looting sweeps in the villages. At the village of Strellc, an old man who stayed behind to look after his farmstead, in an attempt to protect his property, killed three Serb policemen with a hand grenade. Reports said three other Serb policemen were killed at the village of Prejlep. Two Albanians were wounded in last night's incidents. Mr. Cacaj called for international humanitarian organizations, first and foremost the International Red Cross and medical organizations, to help urgently with collecting and burying the killed Albanians.
