Contents Summary
Mounting tension between ethnic Albanians and Serbs in the formerly autonomous region of Kosovo. The report focuses on how the Serbian central authority revoked Kosovo's autonomy and now dominates the region with violent suppression of all resistance. Footage of both a Serbian police officer's funeral and a Kosovar Albanian civilian are shown, as well as clashes between ethnic Albanians and Serbian police. Pictures and footage of abused Kosovo Albanians show severe maltreatment by the Serbian police, corroborated by Gazmed Pula, Head of the Helsinki Committee in Kosovo. The closing of Albanian schools and high unemployment are also discussed. Chatir Chatiri of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and Zoran Gligorijevic of the Serbian Socialist Party both speak on the present situation in Kosovo. Interviews with the small Croatian minority in Janjevo, giving a broad view of the ethnic make-up within Kosovo. Amateur footage of Serbian police confiscating voting ballots after Albanians voted to set up their own government in Kosovo.
