PRISTINA, Nov 20 (Hina) - This year's first heavy snowfall in
Kosovo, which has started on Thursday and has not stopped since, is
aggravating the suffering of a large number of Albanian refugees
who were left without their homes after an eight-month-long Serbian
offensive.
The snow prevented a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees'
(UNHCR) convoy from visiting remote villages and decided to try and
send help from other towns in the southern Yugoslav province.
A spokesman for the leading Kosovo Albanian party - the Kosovo
Democratic Alliance - said the situation in the province was very
difficult because of the still strong presence of Serb military and
police forces.
He called on both sides to refrain from obstructing the
implementation of the OSCE (Organisation for Security and
Cooperation in Europe) peace mission in Kosovo.
