KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Serb doctors in the hospital in Kosovska Mitrovica addressed an open letter on Thurday to regional U.N. administrator Martin Garrod over the arrest of their hospital director.
The doctors said the warrant for the arrest of Director Milan Ivanovic was the bleak underside of the democracy that Garrod was implementing.
They further said that this was the only hospital in the Yugoslav republic of Serbia's U.N.-administered province of Kosovo-Metohija which was treating Serbs, while all others - in Pristina, Pec, Prizren, Djakovica and Gnjilane - had closed their doors to Serbs.
The Kosovska Mitrovica hospital was the only hospital which had not been deserted by a single doctor, and had even received those who had been forced to leave medical centres elsewhere in the province, the doctors said.
They said that Garrod seemed to resent this, and was issuing arrest warrants in an effort to drive the local doctors and the new arrivals out of Kosovo-Metohija and into central Serbia.
