The Pristina daily "Bujku" reported that the Serbian police
were holding seven Albanian immigrant workers in detention, under
threat of being returned from where they had come from because they
allegedly owned invalid passports.
Germany and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia recently signed
an agreement on unobstructed return of Albanian refugees to Kosovo,
which came into effect on 1 December.
