Mission in Kosovo and Metohija on Saturday visited Urosevac, a >town which is today home to only 19 Serbs - 16 adults and three children, >13-year-old twins and their nine-year-old brother. Subcommittee members >visited each of the remaining 10 Serb houses which are in different parts of >the town. They presented aid in food, clothing, footwear and toiletries. In >Urosevac, the remaining Serb houses have become specific concentration camps. >The 19 Serbs have not ventured outside for months, they cannot visit with each >other, or have any contacts, but they know that the other Serbs are still >there. International force KFOR Greek contingent members are on guard outside >these houses round the clock. They inform the Serbs about the activities of >their fellow nationals. The Greek troops are the only guarantee that these >Serbs will live to see another day. > >FROM FOREIGN MEDIA SPECTER OF KOSOVO LOOMS OVER MILLENNIUM SUMMIT ROME, >September 9 (Tanjug) - As expected, the U.N. Millennium Summit which ended in >New York on Friday reiterated pledges that the world organization would fight >the historical challenges - wars, poverty, illiteracy, diseases, "Corriere >della Sera" said on Saturday. The Milan daily published a most sharply-worded >commentary in reaction to the summit, headlined "Summit of shredded Utopias." >"The real truth is that the specter of Kosovo and Metohija, with the bypassing >of the United Nations and Russia's reaction, burdened like a heavy rock >relations between the world powers over the three days of the New York summit. >Among other things, this is one of the main reasons why the U.N. document on >blue helmets was not sharply worded, on which the United States and Great >Britain had insisted, but was balanced according to the wishes of Russia and >China," the Milan daily said. _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
