We are attaching photographs of the devastated Health Center in Kosovo Polje, the only hospital facility where the remaining Serbs in the Kosovo Polje area were able to receive medical treatment. After June 1999 this Health Center was run jointly by Serbian physicians and members of Russian KFOR medical staff. This was the only facility anywhere in central Kosovo where, besides Serbs, Albanians and members of other national communities could receive medical treatment. On the night of March 17, 2004 one part of the building was completely destroyed by a fire started by the Albanian mob. The flames almost spread to a nearby apartment house where all Serb owned apartments were usurped by Albanians long ago. Hospital equipment from the Health Center was demolished and looted. The second row of pictures shows two of several dozen burned Serb houses in Kosovo Polje and Bresje, as well as a destroyed ambulance in front of the Health Center. The new Serbian school, St. Sava, located immediately next to the Health Center was also burned, as was the post office - the only post office in central Kosovo where Serbs could regularly receive parcels and letters - a few hundred meters away. At the same time, vandals broke into the church of St. Nicholas on the main street and set fire to its interior. According to information received, the Albanians also managed to break into the church of St. Catherine opposite the Health Center, and to loot and demolish it, too. Although the church building appears intact from outside the inside of the church is completely devastated. The pogrom of March 17-18 completely destroyed the last vestiges of Serbs in Kosovo Polje. Serbs are still living on in the nearby village of Ugljare and one part of Bresje.
