Corps (KZK), General Agim Qeku, on Tuesday dismissed accusations
from Belgrade that members of the KZK who were also in the Albanian
National Army were behind every incident in Kosovo. #L#
The accusations, notably from Serbia's Deputy Prime Minister
Nebojsa Covic, became more frequent after last week's killing of
two Serb teenagers in Gorazdevac, western Kosovo.
Dismissing Covic's accusations, General Qeku said they represented
the continuation of attempts to prevent the KZK from developing and
to undermine its image in the international community.
He called on international representatives in Kosovo not to believe
"the fabrications made by official Belgrade but support the Kosovo
Protection Corps and the reality in Kosovo".
Commenting on Belgrade's accusations, officials of the Kosovo
government and the local U.N. mission have said nobody should be
accused without proof.
Prime Minister Bajram Rexhepi's political advisor Ramadan Avdiu
said "Belgrade is behind the subversive activity in Kosovo through
its people in Kosovo and its secret services".
UNMIK spokeswoman Izabella Karlovitz, commenting on the
accusations, said that only the police, when in possession of
facts, could accuse someone.
