PRISTINA, Jan 8 (Hina) - Several hundred armed Kosovo Serbs on
Friday resumed a blockade of roads around Pristina, the capital of
the conflict-ridden south Yugoslav province of Kosovo. They demand
that the Yugoslav leadership give them guarantees against and
protection from, they say, "Albanian separatists."
Barricades were first placed on the roads on Thursday after a Serb
man was killed in Preoc, a Serb village near Pristina.
At first only the Prizren-Pristina-Skopje road was blocked, but
later on, Serb civilians set road obstacles and armed guards along
all roads leading out of Pristina.
The electronic media in Yugoslavia have paid almost no attention at
all to the road blockades, nor to a warning and protest issued on
Thursday evening by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation
in Europe (OSCE) Verification Mission to Kosovo.
OSCE's verifiers called the road blockades an unacceptable course
of events, and called on Yugoslav authorities to ensure freedom of
movement in Kosovo.
