New protests in Silovo over electric power cuts 12 March 2009. The Serbs from the Silovo village in Kosmet have again gathered today in protest over the power cuts. Head of the Kosovo-Pomoravlje district Dragan Nikolic has attested that the inhabitants of Silovo have been without electricity for more than a week and that they ask for the equal treatment like the Albanians, i.e. for the Kosmet Power Corporation to re-connect their supplies. He said that the inhabitants of Silovo will continue and expand their protest to block the major road from Gnjilane to Bujanovac, unless their power supply is renewed tomorrow. Due to the long power cuts in several Serbs villages in the central Kosmet, the Serbian authorities have sent protest to UNMIK, along with two suggested solutions – the first relating to the founding of a special company for the power supply of Serb settlements in the Province; the other to the Serbian Electric Corporation compensating for the power spent in the Serb communities in Kosmet. The power cuts in the Serb villages in the Province are interpreted as pressure on the local Serbs to acknowledge the self-proclaimed state of Kosmet.
