Meanwhile, Milosevic is continuing with his brutal campaign of repression. The Serbs have been torching villages, and, in a grisly echo of the savagery of the Bosnian war, separating the men from their families and shooting them. There are reports that the villages of Godeni and Prush have been destroyed. Serb police and masked paramilitary forces swept through the town of Djakovica in Western Kosovo, killing and burning indiscriminately. There are clear signs now that an all-out Serbian offensive against the Kosovar Albanian people has started.
Violence is widespread.
The Serbs are bombarding villages to the point of obliteration. We have heard that some villages no longer exist. There are consistent reports of extra-judicial killing by the Serb Security forces. The numbers of refugees and internally displaced people are increasing rapidly. There are reported to be 30,000 people in the open around Podujevo, Kosovska, Mitrovica and Shale.
