KOSOVO ALBANIAN PRESS REPORTS ON WIDER SERBIAN OFFENSIVE

( Editorial: --> 0064 ) PRISTINA, July 27 (Hina) - Pristina's Albanian language press on Monday published detailed reports on the second day of the largest offensive so far by the Serbian military and police on one-fifth of Kosovo territory. Special attention was given to the situation in settlements along the main Pristina-Pec and Pristina-Prizren roads, which have been closed for some time. The Albanian and Serbian sides have given contradictory numbers on the victims and wounded during the past two days, but it is certain the figure is high. Pristina Albanian daily "Koha Ditore" writes that Serbian forces have bombarded the village of Negrovci near Glogovac and villages around Malisevo, which is controlled by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). It adds that Albanian villages have been set fire to along the Pristina-Pec road. The daily "Bujku" reports that because of powerful attacks by Serbian forces in the past two days, 300 Albanian homes have been left burning as well as 250 hectares of unharvested wheat fields.
