About 10,000 Serbs gathered in Gracanica near Pristina on Sunday for a protest rally against their situation in U.N.-administered Kosovo-Metohija, where they are unprotected from ethnic Albanian terrorism.
The protesters insisted that this is the eleventh hour to do something and that time is running out for the international KFOR force to protect the remaining Serbs in that province of the Yugoslav republic of Serbia.
The Serbs are outraged by daily murders, abductions, arsons, harassment and mediaeval terrorism practised by ethnic Albanian separatists and criminals on the eve of the 21st century and in plain view of the whole world.
The protesters, gathered around Gracanica's monument to Serbian soldiers, had come from Kosovo Polje, Preoci, Caglavica, Gusterica and other Serb villages around Pristina.
After 79 days of NATO's air strikes on Yugoslavia, the killings continue daily, shamelessly, with impunity, the Serb protesters said.
They asked how long this state of affairs is to continue before they, their children, their old and frail, are protected, and if there is anyone to protect them at all.
They blocked roads, demanding that the Yugoslav army and the Serbian police return to Kosovo-Metohija to protect them, since nobody else is willing to do the job.
