PRISTINA - President of the Yugoslav government committee for cooperation with the UN civilian mission in Kosovo-Metohija (UNMIK) Stanimir Vukicevic has addressed to UNMIK and international KFOR peacekeepers a strong protest over the bomb attack Tuesday at the market place in Kosovo Polje, in which two Serbs were killed and 36 were wounded, 11 of them seriously.
This senseless and extremely inhuman act is a consequence of KFOR's and UNMIK's tolerant and benevolent attitude towards the terrorist self-styled KLA, which, after changing its name and other cosmetic adjustments, continues spreading terror throughout Serbia's southern province, Vukicevic said.
It also constitutes a clear proof that the KLA has not been demilitarized and that the agreement that was signed is in fact a political document aimed at concealing the fact that KFOR and the police are incapable of completing the process of disarming ethnic Albanian terrorists, Vukicevic said.
The committee for cooperation with UNMIK demands that KFOR and UNMIK undertake radical and professional actions to prevent other acts of terrorism by the self-styled KLA and to protect innocent civilian population, Vukicevic said and added that the committe expects KFOR and UNMIK to make public the results of their investigation on the Kosovo Polje massacre.
The committee is aware that terrorists want to ethnically cleanse Kosovo-Metohija and shares the concerns of Serbs over terrorist acts. It also reminds KFOR and UNMIK that they have the duty in line with the Security Council Resolution 1244 to ensure full safety, peace and normal living conditions for all in the province, regardless of ethnicity, and demands that they fully honor their commitments, Vukicevic said in his letter.
Witnesses said that ethnic Albanian terrorists had thrown two powerful bombs at a crowd at the Kosovo Polje market place Tuesday about 10 a.m.
After the attack, Serbs gathered in protest in front of the town's medical center, but KFOR troops and UN police officers used force against them and injured five people.
