>(Yugoslav) province.
>Failure to do this would directly result in an escalation of terrorism

>according to Jovanovic.
>Ethnic Albanian terrorists in Kosovo and Metohija have committed fresh

>President for February, Ambassador Arnoldo Listre of Argentina.
>Jovanovic drew the attention of the Council members and U.N. Secretary
>General Kofi Annan, who received a copy of the letter, to the two most
>recent ethnic Albanian terrorist attacks - shelling with an anti-tank
>grenade of a bus transporting Serbs under the escort of the U.N. High
>Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and bombing of a cafe in Kosovska
>Mitrovica.
>The victims were all Serbs, the letter said, adding that the latest brutal
>operations by the ethnic Albanian so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA),
>transformed into the Kosovo Protection Corps, have shown without a shadow
>of doubt that the international force KFor and the U.N. civilian mission
>(UNMIK) have not discharged their main obligations under U.N. Security
>Council Resolution 1244 of disarming KLA terrorists and providing security
>for all in Kosovo and Metohija.
>It is especially disturbing that both terrorist attacks occurred in the
>presence of members of the international military and civilian missions.
>Yugoslavia has once again, regrettably under tragic circumstances, been
>proved right in its warnings that KFor and UNMIK are neither determined nor
>ready of guaranteeing freedom of movement and safety for all.
>This kind of behaviour has resulted in the expulsion of 350,000 Serbs,
>Montenegrins, Goranies, ethnic Turks and other non-Albanians from Kosovo
>and Metohija.
>Describing the reaction and statement by Annan as confused, ambiguous and
>mild, the Yugoslav ambassador said Annan's statement does not condemn the
>terrorism whose acceleration is the direct result of an accord reached with
>the ethnic Albanian separatists and terrorists by Annan's special envoy

>Foreign Ministry, Danilo Milic, who presented him with the personal message

>The message refers to issues pertaining to the development of bilateral

>Ndombasi expressed satisfaction with the contents of the message
>underscoring the importance which his country attaches to friendly
>relations with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
>Ndombasi set out that his government had condemned last year's NATO
>aggression on Yugoslavia which threatened the foundations of international
>relations, violated the U.N. Charter and the principles of the Nonaligned
>Movement and created a dangerous precedent for the future of numerous

>Ndombasi said that the DR of Congo would urge the United Nations and the
>Nonaligned Movement that Yugoslavia, as an independent country, a factor of

>UNMIK AND KFOR UNABLE TO PROTECT THE SERBS
>KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, February. 4 (Tanjug) - The head of the Kosovska
>Mitrovica district, Zdravko Trajkovic, on Friday strongly protested with
>the administrator of the U.N. Civilian Mission in Kosovo and Metohija
>(UNMIK) for Kosovska Mitrovica, Mark Marconni, over the latest terrorist
>actions by the ethnic Albanians who fired an anti-tank grenade on a bus
>near this town and threw hand grenades on a cafe in the predominantly Serb
>northern part of the city.
>"These terrorist acts by the ethnic Albanian terrorists and gangs are the
>result of the irresponsible and unprofessional conduct of UNMIK and KFOR
>who failed to protect the Serbs, Montenegrins and other non-Albanians from
>the insane activities of the ethnic Albanian terrorists," Trajkovic set out.
>"During your eight-month presence in Kosovo and Metohija, you neither
>want, can nor know how to adequately protect the Serbs and Montenegrins in
>this district. I fear, and this has been confirmed a number of times at the
>expense of the Serbs and Montenegrins, that in the future you will also
>refuse to carry out the corresponding measures to prevent all terrorist
>acts aimed against the citizens," Trajkovic warned.
>It is high time for you to understand that you too should take
>responsibility for the dangerous ventures of the ethnic Albanian terrorists
>and gangs due to your passive conduct regarding the crimes against peaceful

>UNMIK, KFOR CLAMP CURFEW ON DIVIDED KOSOVSKA MITROVICA
>KOSOVSKA MITROVICA February 4 (Tanjug) - A U.N. civilian mission (UNMIK)
>spokesman said on Friday that overnight unrest and violence in both sectors
>of divided Kosovska Mitrovica had necessitated the imposition of a curfew.
>According to Beatrice Lacoste, UNMIK and the international KFor force have
>been forced to restrict movement in both Serb and ethnic Albanian parts of
>this town in the U.N.-administered Serbian (Yugoslav) province of Kosovo
>and Metohija between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
>Rioting broke out after two ethnic Turks and two ethnic Albanians were
>murdered, and a cafe was bombed and sprayed with submachine gun bullets,
>gravely injuring 15 Serbs and six ethnic Albanians.
>The curfew is another proof that the U.N. administration, headed by
>Bernard Kouchner, and KFor are incapable of establishing the rule of law in
>Kosovo and Metohija and providing security for all ethnic communities.
>Lacoste condemned the terrorist attack in the course of which a grenade
>was lobbed into a Serb cafe on Thursday night.
>She said that Serbs working for UNMIK were targeted by ethnic Albanian
>terrorists also in the south, ethnic Albanian part of the town.
>For their safety, UNMIK transferred 31 Serbs into the north, predominantly
>Serb-populated part of Kosovska Mitrovica during the night. Anger that
>boiled over after the bombing of the cafe Belami found vent in the smashing
>of shop windows, and sacking of offices and cars belonging to international
>organisations, primarily UNMIK.
>By dawn, there were nearly two thousand people in the streets, protesting
>chiefly against the inability of UNMIK and KFor to prevent ethnic Albanian
>violence against Serbs.
