Tanjug's reporter learnt on the spot that the >fire was very quickly brought under control by fire brigade units from the >northern-Serbian part of Kosovska Mitrovica. According to the first >information the fire was caused by a technical malfunction of a power line >that has been submerged under water for days. A few Serbs working on the >maintenance of the plant, the only ones to remain at their work posts after >the forcible take-over of Trepca by KFOR in August this year, have warned KFOR >members about that, apparently to no avail. The situation has also stabilized >around the plant, and UNMIK and KFOR helicopetres are no longer overflying the >area since midnight. _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
