        O V E R V I E W

        of terrorist and other acts of violence and of certain 
violations of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) of 10 June 
1999 in Kosovo and Metohija, the Autonomous  Province of the 
Yugoslav constituent Republic of Serbia since the arrival of 
KFOR and UNMIK, in the period from 10 June 1999 to 4 June 
2000

(1)     Number of terrorist attacks: 4,878

4,590 committed against Serbs and Montenegrins, 110 against
Albanians and 178 against Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and
members of other ethnic communities.

(2)     Number of killed persons: 1,027

902 Serbs and Montenegrins, 76 Albanians and 49 members 
of other ethnic communities in Kosovo and Metohija.

(3)     Number of abducted and missing persons: 945

869 Serbs and Montenegrins, 42 Albanians and 34 members 
of other ethnic communities. The fate of 782 persons is still 
unknown; 102 abducted persons were killed, 7 persons 
escaped, while 48 were released.

(4)     Number of wounded persons: 955

898 Serbs and Montenegrins, 20 Albanians and 37 members 
of other ethnic communities.

(5)     Ethnic cleansing:  In the campaign of ethnic cleansing
following the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK  two-thirds of the
non-Albanian population, i.e. over 360 000 Serbs, 
Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and other non-
Albanians have been expelled from Kosovo and Metohija, of 
whom 280 000 are Serbs.

The following towns and villages have been ethnically cleansed 
of Serbs, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and other non-
Albanians:

- Pristina (all Serbs have been driven out of its largest suburbs
of Ulpijana, Suncani Breg, Dardanija, Univerzitetsko Naselje. Of
the 40 000 Serbs who used to live in Pristina before KFOR and
UNMIK came to Kosovo and Metohija, 25,000 were school and
university students. Today, only 35 Serbian schoolchildren live in
Pristina and attend classes in the local school in the village of
Laplje; 

- Prizren (only 100 Serbian families remain); 

- Gnjilane, the situation in this town was alarming in March, April 
and May (in this period alone over 350 houses of Serbs were 
sold). The number of remaining Serbs has been halved and 
today only about 1,500 Serbs remain. KFOR and UNMIK have 
warned them not to leave their homes. 

- Djakovica, Pec, Podujevo, Glogovac, as well as the areas of 
Kosovska Mitrovica (Vucitrn, Srbica), Lipljan (“KLA” terrorists 
set fire to 73 out of a total of 75 Serb houses in the village of 
Slovinje in this municipality), Kosovo Polje, from which 80 per 
cent of their Serbian residents have been expelled, i.e. 7,000 
Serbs and 4,000 other non-Albanians (their homes have been 
burned and looted, while shops, cafes and other property are
being seized from their owners. In the presence of KFOR, ethnic
Albanian terrorists brutalize and harass the Serbs who refuse to
sell their homes and leave Kosovo and Metohija);

- the whole area of the municipalities of Istok and Klina 
including the villages of Dzakovo, Osojane, Tucepom, Kos, Zac,
Belica, Krnjine, Maticane, Kacanik, Stimlje, Kmetovacka 
Vrbica and others, where 3,440 Serbian homes were burned 
down; 

- the surroundings of Urosevac, Slivovo, Nedakovac, Nevoljane, 
Vrpica, Ljestar, Zegra (municipality of Gnjilane), Zitnje, 
Pozaranje, Grmovo, Drobes; in the village of Talinovac the two 
last Serbian houses whose owners had been forced to move 
out were burnt down at the beginning of April; 

- the surroundings of Vitina, 18 Serbian villaged cleansed of 
Serbs (Kabas, Binac and other villages), the areas of 
Kosovska Kamenica (villages of Bratilovce, Firiceja and
others) and Kosovsko Pomoravlje, as well as the villages of
Toplicane, Rujice, Magure, Slovinja, Staro Gracko, Klobukar in 
the municipality of Novo Brdo. (All Serbian houses have been 
burned down and all its owners forced to leave.)

In May 2000 the shelling, burning and mining of Serbian houses 
was intensified in the municipality of Vitina, especiially in the
villages of Vrbovac, Grncar, Binac and Klokot, the latter being
crucial for the integration of the Serbian entities in Kosovsko
Pomoravlje.

Members of the terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army 
exert great pressure on ethnic Goranci, the indigenous 
residents of the region of Gora, who are not allowed to use their 
maternal Serbian language in schools and in everyday life, in 
an attempt to misrepresent this ethnic group as Albanians.

Expulsion of the members of the Muslim ethnic community, loyal
citizens of the FR of Yugoslavia, has intensified particularly in
the area of the municipality of Istok..

In the area of Prizren and Djakovica about 65,000 Kosovo 
Albanian Catholics live in a difficult situation and under great 
pressure from Albanian terrorists who accuse them of 
"collaboration with Serbs".

During the month of May “KLA” terrorists made several attacks
against the Croats of Janjevo. Under heavy pressure from “KLA”
terrorists only 350 Croats of the former population of 1,500 have
remained in Janjevo.

Prevention of the return of Serbs:

Albanian separatists continue their deliberate actions, aimed at
preventing the return of Serbs to Kosovo and Metohija. They 
raze Serbian houses in a pre-planned and synchronized 
manner, particularly in the areas of Pec, Istok and Klina.. The 
most drastic example was the looting and bulldozing of over 
250 Serbian houses in the village of Bijelo Polje, on 15 April 
2000. The area of this village was turned into a garbage dump. 
Serbian houses in the villages of Brezanik and Osojane have 
also been bulldozed.
Fourteen Serbian villages in the municipality of Vitina do not
exist any more because all the houses have been destroyed. At 
the end of April, Albanian terrorists announced that they will 
carry out similar organized actions of looting and destroying 
Serbian houses in the villages near Istok and Novo Brdo.

“KLA” terrorists set fire to the local elementary school in the
village of Siga, municipality of Pec (24 April), which was the
only undamaged facility in the village, designated as such to
serve temporary shelter for displaced persons.

“KLA” terrorists have intensified their rocket-propelled and other
armed attacks on the village of Gorazdevac to prevent it from
becoming a centre for Serbs returning to the Metohija region.

UNHCR officials discourage the return of Serbs in Orahovac 
with the explanation that the siutation has not yet stabilized.
However, Serbs are convinced that there exist minimum 
conditions for their return.

(7)     The latest brutal crimes: vandalazing of the Orthodox
Christian cemetery in Presevo, where 35 headstones were 
demolished (7 May) as well as in the village of Banjska, 
municipality of Vucitrn (10 May); bombing of a shop in Cernica, 
municipality of Gnjilane, in which 5 Serbs were injured (9 May); 
killing of Miljaim Djakoli in the village of Trnava, municipality of
Podujevo, as he was accused by “KLA” terrorists of 
“collaborating” with the Serbs (10 May); abduction of Arsenije 
Krivokapic in Kosovska Mitrovica (13 May); killing of Milan 
Milovanovic in the village of Vukojevac, municipality of 
Kursumlija, about 600-700 meters inside the ground security 
zone (18 May); killing of Dragan Peric, 75, in the field in the 
village of Gojbulja, municipality of Vucitrn (19 May); arson of the 
student boarding house in Gnjilane, which was gutted by the fire 
(23 May); killing of Vladimir Ilic, 50, on his doorstep in Vitina 
(24 May); attack on Serbs in the village of Dobrotin, 
municipality of Lipljan, in which 4 Serbs sustained serious 
injuries (26 May); bombing of a Serb cafe in Bresje, in which 5 
Serbs were seriously injured (26 May); arson in the Trepca 
factory complex in the southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, in 
which enormous damage was caused to property (26 May); 
attack on the Serbs outside a shop in the village of Cernica, 
municipality of Gnjilane, in which Tihomir Trifunovic, Vojin Vasic 
and a five-year old Milos Petrovic were killed while two Serbs 
were gravely wounded (28 May); attack on Serbs in the village 
of Klokot, municipality of Vitina, in which Lepterka Marinkovic, 
67, was killed and another 3 Serbs were seriously wounded (31 
May); killing of Milutin Trajkovic, 33, in the village of Babin Most, 
municipality of Obilic (31 May); bombing of the house of Djordje 
Velickovic, a Serb, in Obilic, in which Misko Todorovic was 
seriously injured (1 June); murder of two Serbs Sinisa Dimic 
and Vlastimir Milic and the wounding of  three other Serbs, of 
whom two minors, in a car which ran over the anti-tenk mine 
placed by the Albanian terrorists the night before on the road 
connecting the Serbian villages of Ugljare and Preoce in the 
vicinity of Pristina (2 June). 

(8) New forms of terror against Serbs and other non-Albanians:

In its security actions against Serbian and other non-Albanians,
KFOR is increasingly demonstrating force and resorting to
harassment and physical violence and causing damage to 
Serbian property. Drastic incidents occurred in Kosovska 
Mitrovica (on 20-25 February), in the villages of Mogila (on 25-
26 February), in which Serbian houses were searched in a 
most brutal way, Draganovac (municipality of Gnjilane) and 
Miolice (Municipality of Leposavic), Mali Zvecan (27 February), 
Gornje Kusce (1 March) and the Serbian villages of Rudare and 
Grabovac (1 March). The searches were conducted by KFOR 
jointly with the terrorists of the so-called KLA, who wore 
international security forces uniforms, in an open display of the 
existence of co-ordination between KFOR and Albanian 
terrorists.

In April violence against Serbs in the so-called security actions
of KFOR has assumed dramatic proportions. The most drastic
examples were the incidents which took place in the village of
Dobrotin on 2 April, in the village of Sevce on 4 April and in the
villages of Lepina and Jazine, when KFOR members released 
dogs on the Serbs who had gathered to protest the difficult 
situation and when a large number of people were seriously 
injured. Several persons were also injured in a brutal action of 
KFOR against Serbian demonstrators in Gracanica on 7 April 
2000.

KFOR members used APCs and dogs against local people in 
Babin Most, municipality of Obilic, who had gathered to protest 
over the brutal murder of Milutin Trajkovic in their village (31 
May).

(9) Terrorist attacks outside the Province:

Groups of Allbanian terrorists are located in the area of the
villages of Breznica, Muhovac, Car, Zarbince, Ravno Bucje and
others. They are attacking out of their headquarters in the
village of Rogacica, municipality of Kosovska Kamenica, 
against areas outside the Province. Incidents include grenade-
propelled attacks from the village of Dobrosin against the 
police checkpoint near Bujanovac  (8 and 20 May); attacks with 
automatic weapons against a local police patrol in the village of 
Konculj (23 and 24 May);a grenade-propelled attack on local 
police near the village of Lucane (30 May).

(10) Terrorist attacks on Serbian convoys:

Attacks on a Serbian convoys headed for Strpce, near the 
village of Radivojce (on 22 and 29 February); attack on a 
Serbian convoy en route to Koretiste, in the village of 
Dobricane (28 February); attack on a bus ferrying Serbian 
children home from school on the road between Gornje Kusce 
and Koretiste (29 February); Lieutenant Peter Ramstell (KFOR, 
Kosovska Mitrovica area) banned all KFOR security escorts for 
buses transporting Serbian schoolchildren and sick persons to 
Gracanica (1 March); attacks against Serbian convoys in the 
village of Koretin (6 and 20 March); repeated attacks against 
Serbian convoys in Gnjilane (7, 10 and 31 March); an attack on 
a Serbian convoy in the village of Dobrovce (27 March); attack 
on a Serbian convoy on the road between Bujanovac and 
Gracanica (11 April 2000); attack on a convoy from Strpce in
the village of Pozaranje, municipality of Vitina (18 April 2000).

KFOR has not prevented these terrorist attacks. Also, it has
refused to provide security escorts to convoys between 
Merdare and Kosovo Polje. In addition to daily terror against 
them, this is added pressure on Serbs to leave Kosovo Polje.

(11) Number of arbitrarily arrested persons by KFOR and 
UNMIK: 466

Arrested Serbs are detained in prisons in Pristina, Prizren,
Sojevo near Urosevac, Kosovska Mitrovica, Gnjilane, Lipljan 
and Klokot Banja.

They have been arrested without any explanation or charges, 
only on the ground of information provided by the Albanians, 
most frequently by the members of the terrorist so-called 
Kosovo Liberation Army.

43 Serbs arbitrarily arrested without legal grounds by KFOR 
and UNMIK have been detained in a prison in Kosovska 
Mitrovica for eleven months already. In this period no 
investigation or any court proceedings  have been instituted. On 
10 April 2000, 37 detained Serbs and 5 Roma went on a 
hunger strike. The immediate cause was the release of Gjelal 
Ademi, an ethnic Albanian, against whom an investigation had 
been instituted because of a hand grenade attack in which 22 
Serbs and 14 French soldiers of KFOR were injured. The 
detained Serbs and Roma were forced to go on a hunger strike 
for more than 40 days in an effort to realize their basic human 
rights in this way. They ended their strike as B. Kouchner told 
them on 21 May that  they would stand trial shortly.
 
(12) Prisons and labour camps for abducted Serbs run by the
terrorist so-called Kosovo Libertion Army

The abducted Serbian civilians, detained by the terrorist
so-called Kosovo Liberatin Army, are kept in the labour camps
located in the village of Maticane and in the wider area of
Prizren (“Ortokal” estate, a building situated on the road to
Djakovica) and in Drenica. 472 abducted Serbs are kept in the
camps.

KLA prisons for Serbs, Montenegrins and members of other 
ethnic communities who are not supportive of Albanian 
terrorists are situated also around the village of Brod, 
municipality of Dragas, and along the Djakovica road towards 
the village of Junik, municipality of Decani,  as well as in the 
villages of Glodjane, Izbica and Strovce in the Kosovska 
Mitrovica district; and in the premises of Railroad Transport Co. 
in Urosevac.

The prison located in the offices of the Pristina Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, run by the so-called KLA, where 71
non-Albanians have been detained, was relocated to another
unspecified facility on 27 April. 


(13) Situation in Kosovska Mitrovica:

Since the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK in Kosovo and 
Metohija, the security situation has been very serious, 
particularly in and around Kosovska Mitrovica. Some of the 
most salient types and instances of atrocities have been:

- looting and the destruction of 2,365 homes belonging to 
Serbs, Montenegrins and other non-Albanians (1,200 in 
Kosovska Mitrovica; 1,060 in Vucitrn; and 105 in Srbica); 
- eviction of 700 Serbian families from their apartments (500 in 
southern Kosovska Mitrovica; 150 in Vucitrn; and 50 in Srbica);
- looting and the destruction of the property of the following 
companies: 
        1. In Kosovska Mitrovica: Socially-owned companies

(14) Recent killings and terrorizing of Albanians loyal to the FR
of Yugoslavia:

The terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army has stepped up 
the execution of Albanians who do not support their policy and 
goals, particularly in the areas of Pristina, Podujevo and Pec. 
The most drastic examples are: the murder of Hejdi Sejdiu, a 
member of the Provincial Committee of the Serbian Socialist 
Party, in his home town of Urosevac in front of his wife and 
three children (on 10 February), the killing of Danush Januzi in 
Vitina (on 10 February); the massacre of Tahir Bekim, 
abducted and later killed by the terrorists of the so-called 
Kosovo Liberation Army (parts of his mutilated body were 
found on 24 February).

The terrorists of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army burnt 
down the house of Sellim Broshi, former head of the Provincial 
Ministry of the Interior, in the village of Odanovce, municipality of
Kosovska Kamenica, on 20 March 2000. They are also looking 
for Sinan Rexhepi, former employee of the Provincial Ministry of 
the Interior. They threaten Sadik Hajrulah from Vitina, Ramadan
Sermaxhi, employee of the Ministry of the Interior in Gnjilane,
Minir Krasniqi from Kosovska Kamenica, as well as other 
former or present ethnic Albanian members of the Provincial 
Ministry of the Interior in Gnjilane. In mid-March, terrorists of the 
so-called Kosovo Liberation Army abducted Noa and Nua 
Kajtazi, Catholic Albanians, in the village of Zjum accusing them 
that they are loyal citizens of the FR of Yugoslavia. They 
requested a ransom from their family in the amount of DM 
40,000. They also searched their houses, looted them and beat 
the members of their family.

In addition to Serbs, the terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation
Army also rounds up Albanians, loyal to the State of the FR of
Yugoslavia, and detain them in their prison camps (around the
village of Brod, municipality of Dragas).

(15) Destruction of churches, monasteries and cultural 
monuments:

86 churches, monasteries and other cultural monuments were 
burned down, demolished or seriously damaged, among them 
the Church of the Entrance of Our Lady into the Temple at 
Dolac, monastery of St. Mark at Korisa from 1467, monastery 
of Prophets Kosmo and Damien in Zociste from 14th century, 
the church in Kijevo from the 14th century, the Holy Trinity 
monastery from the 14th century near Musutiste, monastery 
Devic built in 1440,  Church of St. Paraskeva in Drenik from the 
16th century, Church of St. Demetrius near Pec, the Orthodox 
church at Grmovo near Vitina, Church of St. Elijah at Zegra near 
Gnjilane, church of Holy Mother in Musutiste from 1315, Church

Monks and other clergy are being terrorized and persecuted. 
More than 150 parish residences were destroyed or damaged. 
Over 10,000 icons and other sacral objects, most of which are 
part of cultural treasures under the special protection of the 
State, were stolen or destroyed. Medieval frescoes were 
destroyed in 70 per cent of Orthodox churches and 
monasteries.

Assaults on members of the Catholic religious community by the
terrorists of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army have
intensified in Prizren and Pec, particularly assaults on 
clergymen (The homes of two Franciscan priests were burned 
down.).

The following cultural monuments were damaged or 
demolished:
- statues of the greatest lexicographer of the Serbian language
Vuk Karadzic and the great Montenegrin poet Petar Petrovic 
Njegos in downtown Pristina; 
- memorials to King Uros in Urosevac and King Dusan in 
Prizren; 
- memorial to Prince Lazar in Gnjilane and the memorial to 
Serbian rulers from the Nemanjic dynasty in the village of 
Gornje Nerodimlje; 
- memorial to Milos Obilic, the symbol of the town of Obilic. 
KFOR removed the damaged statue to the compounds of the 
thermal electric power plant "Kosovo B".  
- about 400 000 books vanished in the fire set to the Pristina
Library.

Many of the destroyed monuments are outstanding examples of 
the Serbian cultural heritage and are on the list of the 
monuments of exceptional cultural value under the protection of 
UNESCO.


(16) Forced and illegal taking over of public institutions: 

- Forcible and illegal takeovers of premises and buildings of 
post offices, banks, medical institutions, water and power 
supply systems, university, elementary and secondary schools, 
municipal and other local government buildings, local 
communes, buildings of the Ministry of the Interior and the Army 
of Yugoslavia, factories, enterprises, cooperatives, etc. in 
Pristina (premises of the Clinical Centre "Pristina" and the 
health station whose equipment has been stolen and taken by 
doctors in private practice, Federal Customs Administration, 
Public Housing Company, Institute for Urban Planning, water 
supply company "Vodovod", thermal electric power plant 
"Kosovo B", depots and petrol stations of "Jugopetrol", the 
shareholding companies "Kosmet-Pristina", "Kosovo-Trans", 
"Energoinvest", "Autopristina",  car shock absorbers factory, 
"Jugotrans", etc.)  as well as in Prizren, Dragas, Podujevo, 
Lipljan, Strpci, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo Polje (with the 
assistance of KFOR), Djakovica (with the assistance of KFOR).

- By forced and illegal taking over of public enterprises and
institutions tens of thousands employed Serbs, Montenegrins, 
Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and other non-Albanians were 
sacked and left with no means to support themselves.

- More than 190 major companies were forcibly and illegally
seized, whose equipment was looted and most often taken to
Albania.

(17) Armed artillery attacks on villages: Slovinj, Maticane,
Orahovac, Konjuh, Berivojce, Gornja Brnjica, the villages around
Kosovska Kamenica: Grncar, Magila, Ajvalija, all the villages of
the Istok-Klina region, Gorazdevac near Pec, Svinjare, Klokot,
Novo Brdo, Zjum, Donja and Gornja Gusterica, Susica, 
Badavac, Bresje, Vrbovac, Vitina, Cernice, (municipality of 
Gnjilane), Dobrusa, Veliko Ropotovo (municipality of Kosovska 
Kamenica), Partes, Podgradje, Malisevo and Pasjane 
(municipality of Gnjilane), Ljestar, Budriga, Dobrotin 
(municipality of Lipljan), Grncar, Binac, Ranilug, Silovo, 
Odovce, Rajanovce, Bosce, Caglavica, Paravolo, Lebane, 
Gojbulja, Suvo Grlo and Banje (municipality of Srbica), in the 
following villages in the area of the municipality of Gora: 
Brodosavce, Belobrod, Kukavce; frequent attacks on houses of 
Goranci, Muslims and Albanians, loyal to the FR of Yugoslavia, 
and in Grabovac (municipality of Zvecan).

All Serbian houses in the villages of Donji Livoc, Kmetova 
Vrbica, Lipovica and Cernice in the municipality of Gnjilane, 
and in the villages of Vaganes, Gradjenik and Orahovica in the 
municipality of Kosovska Kamenica, all forming part of 
Kosovsko Pomoravlje, were set on fire or destroyed by mortars 
or explosives.

All this runs counter to assertions by KFOR and UNMIK that the
terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army has been disarmed.

(18)    Blockade of towns and villages: Gadnje, Orahovac and
Velika Hoca, Koretin, villages around Gnjilane, Gornja Srbica,
Gorazdevac, Priluzje (the village surrounded by Albanians, with 
no doctors, shops and phone lines; about 80 per cent of the 
villagers who worked for the  Electric Power Industry of Serbia 
have remained jobless). 

About 3,500 Serbian residents of Orahovac have been living for
more than ten months since the deployment of KFOR and 
UNMIK in the first concentration camp in Europe after the 
Second World War, besieged by the terrorist so-called Kosovo 
Liberation Army. 

(19) Armed threats against villages and terror committed on a
daily basis against non-Albanians: Ugljari, Srpski Babus, 
Stimlje, Novo Selo, Bresje, Obilic, the area around Kosovo 
Polje, Milosevo (on which an armed attack was recently carried 
out), the village of Zebnice (dramatic humanitarian situation), 
most of  the mainly Catholic Croatian population of the villages 
of Letinice, Vrnez, Vrnavo Kolo and Sasare have moved out, 
Drenovac (50 Serbs massacred), village of Cernice (a series 
of incidents in which US KFOR soldiers maltreated Serbs), 
Pozaranje, Gotovusa, Gatnje, Zubin Potok, Veliki Alas, Vrelo 
and Radevo, Plemetin and Slatina (municipality of Vucitrn), 
Crkolez (municipality of Istok), Ogose - municipality of 
Kosovska Kamenica (where almost all Roma families have 
been driven out), Banjska, Gojbulja and Miroce (municipality of 
Vucitrn), Brezanik (municipality of Pec).

Ruthless terror is used against the remaining Serbs in the 
village of Obilic: their houses are attacked and set on fire. They 
cannot call fire emergency services or ask for KFOR and 
UNMIK assistance since their telephone lines are 
disconnected, while those belonging to  Albanian households 
are connected. This provides further evidence of the 
discrimination against Serbs by KFOR and UNMIK who sit idly 
by.

(20) The looted Serbian villages whose residents were forced 
out: 
    Muzicani, Slivovo, Orlovic, Dragas, the area around Kosovo
Polje, Livadice, Mirovac, Sirinicka Zupa, Medregovac, Grace,
Zociste, Sofalija, Dragoljevac, Tomance, Koretin, Lestar, Donja
Sipasnica, Miganovce, Laniste and Zmijarnik (municipality of
Kosovska Kamenica).

(21) Serbian settlements set on fire: Istok, Klina, Donja
Lapastica, Obrandza, Velika Reka, Perane, Lause, the villages
around Podujevo, Grace, Donja Dubica, Zociste, Orahovac, 
Naklo, Vitomirice, Belo Polje, Kojlovice, Alos-Toplicane,

Orlovic (municipality of Pristina), Krpimej and Lausa 
(municipality of Podujevo), Muzicane (all Serbian houses 
burned down), Zaimovo, Denovac, Lesjane, Gornje and Donje 
Nerodimlje (all Serbian houses looted and burned down), 
Sinaje (municipality of Istok), Balovac, Mali Talinovac, Ljubizda,
