KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - The situation in Kosovska Mitrovica has deteriorated drastically following several incidents - the stoning Monday of a bus on the Zubin Potok - Kosovo Polje road, the stoning Sunday of over 30 Serb families on their way home from the Orthodox cemetery in the southern, ethnic Albanian, part of the town, the armed attack on the Serb village Svinjare, 3 km south of Kosovska Mitrovica, and the demolishing of railway tracks on the Zvecan - Kosovo Polje section at the Mijalic village, Vucitrn municipality.
Serbs in the area are deeply worried, as KFOR peacekeepers are doing absolutely nothing to protect them. Despite stories about terrorist KLA demilitarization, the mortar attack on the Svinjare village, inhabited by 130 Serb families, lasted 20 minutes. It was launched from the neighboring ethnic Albanian village of Pantin, the Serb National Council said in a letter to the Chief Administrator of the Kosovsla Mitrovica district Martin Garrod.
The Council demanded that KFOR take firm measures to protect the Serb population and to finally initiate actions against still armed ethnic Albanian terrorists at large throughout Kosovo-Metohija. The terrorists are the sole destabilizing factor for peace and freedom in the province, the letter says.
