Kosovo's minorities 'under attack' (BBC, nota emittente bolscevica)

Gypsies have been subjected to arson attacks and beatings
Two international human rights groups have accused Kosovo Albanians of
waging a campaign of violence and intimidation against the Serb and
Roma minorities.
The American-based Human Rights Watch said dozens of Serbs had been
killed or abducted in revenge attacks - and many more had been beaten
or robbed - since the Yugoslav forces withdrew in June.
It said Serbs and gypsies had been the victims of "direct and
systematic efforts" by the Kosovo Albanians to force them to leave
their homes.

The Hungarian-based European Roma Rights Centre also reported the
intimidation suffered by gypsies at the hands of the Kosovo Albanians.
Kosovo Albanians say that once the Serbs forced them out of their
homes during the Nato air war, it was usually the gypsies who moved in
to loot their possessions.
The Kosovo Albanians are now taking their revenge on both communities,
say the reports.
Call for international police
The human rights groups said efforts by the Nato-led peacekeepers to
stop the violence were ineffective, and called for the urgent
deployment of an international police force in Kosovo.
K-For defends its record in Kosovo: "Actually we have a rigid order
here" Since the publication of the report, Nato peacekeepers say they
have arrested five Kosovo Albanians for the abduction and murder of a
Serb man, and detained two others for the killing of an elderly Serb
woman. Nato officers say the murder rate in Kosovo has dropped to half
of what it was six weeks ago, and that this is a measure of the
peace-keeping operation's success.
But the UN has still not deployed an international police force.
Human Rights Watch says the frequency of abuses against Serbs and Roma
is a consequence of this lack of a police force.
Murder of old women
The human rights group says that more than 160,000 Serbs have fled
Kosovo since Nato arrived, along with significant numbers of gypsies.
Roma live in fear
The organisation's report highlights a series of killings, including
the murders of 14 Serb farmers at Gracko last month.
It also documents less well-known cases, such as that of 77-year-old
Marica Steminkovic, and 63-year-old Panta Philipovic. The two women
had lived in the town of Prizren for decades and decided to stay when
other Serbs fled the city.
Within days, Human Rights Watch says, uniformed KLA members began
appearing at their homes demanding money and arms.
After repeated visits, both women were found with throats cut, Marica
Steminkovic almost decapitated.
The majority of abuses against both the Serbs and the Roma have been
committed by men dressed in KLA uniforms, the reports says, although
it remains unclear whether there is an organised KLA campaign against
minorities. The KLA denies involvement in the killings

Povero Chierico che non legge tutti gli articoli fino in fondo per
scoprire che il KLA/UCK non ha alcuna responsabilita' diretta che sia
stata provata :)
(e quindi non c'e' nemmeno una organizzazione internazionale che accusi
l'UCK/KLA)

Le organizzazioni (due) accusano. Il KLA, come e' logico che faccia,
nega di avere responsabilita'. Tu a chi credi? ;-))
