BELGRADE, October 17 (Xinhua) -- The Kosovo Peacekeeping Force (KFOR) on Sunday condemned the illegal Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) for violating the demilitarization agreement and continuing its terrorist activities.
A KFOR spokesman told a press conference in Pristina that large numbers of Kosovo ethnic Albanians assembled at the village of Gornje on Saturday, some of them wearing the forbidden KLA uniforms and many carrying weapons.
He said this assembly obviously violated the demilitarization agreement and was intolerable.
It was the first time that the KFOR admitted the KLA was not totally disarmed.
The Yugoslav news agency Tanjug noted that increased KLA terrorist activities, especially the serious conflict in Kosovska Mitrovica with the KFOR soldiers, had been worsening the relations between the two sides and their "honeymoon" is over.
According to the United Nations demilitarization resolution, the KLA should be completely disarmed before September 19. The KFOR' representatives and the KLA leaders declared on September 21 that the KLA would cease to exist as from that day and would be reorganized into a civilian force, the Kosovo Protection Corps.
