Serbs protest Kosovo murders

-Twenty-two Serbs have killed in the Lipljan
municipality since the arrival of peacekeepers and the
United Nations administration in mid-1999.


LIPLJAN/STARO GRACKO -- Friday Several hundred Serbs
protested in Kosovo today at the murder of two Serbs
last night in the village of Lipljan.

They gathered in the village of Staro Gracko, not far
from the site where Zlatomir Kostic and Miljana
Markovic were killed when their car came under
gunfire.

Zoran Cirkovic, a local official, claimed Serbs in the
village were being systematically attacked in an
attempt to drive them out. He called for support from
the authorities in Belgrade and Serbs in central
Serbia.

The protest was attended by three senior Serb MPs in
the Kosovo Parliament Oliver Ivanovic, Dragisa
Krstovic and Milorad Todorovic.

The protestors called on international peacekeepers in
the province to re-establish checkpoints at the
entrance to the village.

Twenty-two Serbs have killed in the Lipljan
municipality since the arrival of peacekeepers and the
United Nations administration in mid-1999.

The head of Belgrade's Coordination for Centre
condemned the killings, and accused the international
authorities of failing to do their job.

Tragic fate of Serbian pupils in Kosovo - Voice of
Russia


13:47 MOSCOW , Feb 20 (Tanjug) - The Serbian education
in Kosovo is going through difficult times in Kosovo,
because pupils are faced daily with the fear for their
or whether they will lose their classrooms, Moscow's
radio the Voice of Russia comments on Friday.
"The Serbian part of the education in Kosovo and
Metohija is sharing the destiny of its people that
remained in Serbia's southern province. While children
in all other parts of Serbia had started the second
term without fear that someone might take over their
classrooms or endanger their lives, pupils and their
teachers in Kosovo and Metohija are struggling for
things that the people leading a normal life don't
even think about," the Moscow radio said.
