ALBANIAN SOURCES REPORT SITUATION IN DECANI DRAMATIC

( Editorial: --> 7860 ) PRISTINA, May 31 (Hina) - Serbian attacks on villages in the Kosovo municipalities of Decani and Pec, which started three days ago, continued on Sunday, Kosovo Albanian sources reported. One adult and six children, aged 8 to 11, were wounded in the shelling of the village of Isnici near Decani. Two killed Albanians were identified in Strelce near Decani and it is feared that the number of victims is even higher. The Kosovo Information Centre estimates that the situation in this part of Kosovo, which has been under siege and without phone links for three days, is dramatic. Albanian sources report fierce fighting in Isnic, while Decani is in flames. Seventy people from Decani were arrested and their destiny is unknown. Shooting can be heard coming from three other villages in the Decani municipality. The municipal representatives of Decani have called on international representatives and humanitarian organisations to take urgent action and save lives of people from the municipalities under attack. Serbian forces have continued the shelling of the village of Lausha near Srbica and on Lapusnik and other villages in the Glogovac municipality, the Kosovo Information Centre reported. Serbian forces have detained two members of the Kosovo Democratic Alliance presidency and an associate of the Pristina-based daily "Bujku" in Djakovica. The Kosovo Red Cross has appealed to international humanitarian organisations to engage in the release of the three detainees. Serbian sources have so far released no information on the attacks and fighting in Decani and Pec. Shooting from automatic weapons could be heard coming from Kosovo's capital of Pristina as well.
