Rights Activists Attacked By Kosovo Serbs
22 March 2008 Strpce _ A vehicle belonging to the Serbian Helsinki Committee 
for Human Rights was pelted with eggs and snow Friday by a group of Kosovo 
Serbs in the enclave of Strpce. 
Some 60 Kosovo Serbs, claiming to be supporters of Serbia's nationalist Radical 
Party attacked the bus as it entered Strpce, according to Kosovo Police 
Spokesman Veton Elshani.

Radical Party respresentative in the town, Zvonko Mihajlovic, said the Serbs 
were not party members but "a spontaneous group of people displeased with what 
the Helsinki Committee in Serbia does."

He added the Committee's intention "wasn't an assessment of Serb human rights 
but to promote Kosovo's independence... Serbs in Strpce do not accept Kosovo's 
independence therefore all those who promote it are not welcomed in Strpce.”

Members of the Committee, Sonja Biserko, Borka Pavicevic, Obrad Savic and Vera 
Markovic said their intention was to learn about the problems enclave Serbs 
face during their trip to Strpce. They were led out of the town by Kosovo 
police.

Serbia's Helsinki Committee is known for protecting the rights of ethnic 
minority communities, and in Kosovo they have been involved in investigating 
war crimes against Kosovar Albanians perpetrated by the regime of Slobodan 
Milosevic in the 1990s.

Helsinki Committees are volunteer or non-governmental organisations found in 
most countries which signed the Helsinki Accords on Human Rights in 1975.
