U.S. Troops Take Fire in Kosovo

It is growing increasingly risky for American "peacekeepers"
stationed in the Balkans, where neither warring Serbs nor
Albanians like them and are growing more violent.
According to the Associated Press:
A joint American-Russian patrol was shot at Sunday while trying
to seal off the boundary between Kosovo and southern Serbia where
Albanian rebels have been challenging Yugoslav forces.
There were no casualties, and the troops who came under the
small-arms attack fired back.
The Americans and Russians working together had just set off a
series of explosive charges to destroy a section of road believed
used by the ethnic-Albanian militants when the shooting began.
They were attempting to seal the boundary near the village of
Gornje Karacevo about 30 miles southeast of Pristina.
Only the day before, Serb militants, infuriated over the arrest
of a motorist, set fire to a police station in northwestern
Kosovo, stoned vehicles and took seven Belgian soldiers hostage.
Two Serbs involved in the incident in the town of Leposavic were
killed, another wounded.
Last month, rebels killed four Yugoslav policemen and seized
several positions in the three-mile-wide buffer zone along the
Yugoslav side of the boundary with Kosovo.
The new democratic government of Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica has been urging the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization's occupation forces in Kosovo to get tougher with
the ethnic-Albanian extremists.
These are the same rebels that the government of former President
Slobodan Milosevic had attacked, bringing on the NATO bombing and
invasion of Yugoslavia.
Milosevic has now accused Kostunica of failing to defend Serb
interests. His Serbian Radical Party said the deaths in Leposavic
"are an example of the fate that awaits all Serbs" under
Kostunica's rule and demanded his forces "put an end to the
crimes against Serbs."
It is in the middle of this continuation of Yugoslavia's
lingering civil war by other means that American troops in the
NATO command now find themselves.
