News Briefs: Prime Minister's Kostunica Editorial in Washington Post

18 July 2006

Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica visited the United States last week to discuss his country's plans to provide for the rights of the indigenous Serbian population in Kosovo.

A UNHCR spokeswoman confirmed the existence of this internal report to Reuters saying that its reason is to “be ready to help a certain number of people who may be affected by a decision”. As the UNHCR spokeswoman did not specify which status decision will trigger Kosovo Serb exodus it follows then that any decision on Kosovo’s status will be a trigger that will initiate a Muslim Albanian pogrom of Kosovo Christians.
