Serbs in northern Kosovo stage protest rally

PRISTINA, June 5 (Hina) - Four Serb municipalities in northern Kosovo have decided to sever contacts with the international community and Kosovo institutions until persons responsible for attacks on local Serbs are found and security is established in the province, it was said at a protest meeting in Zvecan, northern Kosovo, on Monday.
PRISTINA, June 5 (Hina) - Four Serb municipalities in northern Kosovo have decided to sever contacts with the international community and Kosovo institutions until persons responsible for attacks on local Serbs are found and security is established in the province, it was said at a protest meeting in Zvecan, northern Kosovo, on Monday.

The head of the municipal assembly, Dragisa Milovic, said that the decision was prompted by last week's murder of Serb Miljan Veskovic.

Participants in the protest meeting and representatives of local authorities in Zvecan, Leposavic, Zubin Potok and the northern part of the town of Mitrovica urged the UN Security Council and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to establish the responsibility of international peacekeeping forces, the international administration, the local prosecution and police in the UN-administered province.

They also urged deploying several hundred Serb policemen in northern Kosovo.

A committee for emergency situations and self-organisation was set up and the regional Kosovo police unit was denied trust.

The protesters asked that Serbian police teams be included in future investigations.

Momir Kasalovic, one of the speakers at the meeting, said that "the Albanian terrorist army ANA has claimed responsibility for Veskovic's murder and the serious wounding of a worker at the petrol station in Grabovac near Zvecan," thus dismissing claims by the spokesman for the UN police in Kosovo that the said crimes were not ethnically motivated.

Kasalovic said that Serbs would not accept "the hellish plan of establishment of an independent Kosovo" and that they would use all available means to keep Kosovo part of Serbia.
