Yugoslavia releases U.N. workers
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) — Three U.N.
employees who had been detained and held in
Yugoslavia were released yesterday — two days
after their disappearance raised questions about
whether Yugoslavia was violating the terms of
the Kosovo peace agreement.
U.N. spokesperson Susan Manuel said An
dre Teles of Portugal, Gordon Cimiratic of Aus
tralia and Kosovo Serb Dejan Santic drove to a
Danish army checkpoint last night and were en
route to their base in the Kosovo city of Kosovs-
ka Mitrovica.
The men disappeared Monday while looking
for a site for a communications-relay station in
the mountains of northwestern Kosovo, about
15 miles from the province’s border with the
rest of Serbia.
The United Nations said they were taken to
a Serbian town outside Kosovo by Yugoslavs —
raising questions about why they were arrested
and under whose authority, since Kosovo is un
der U.N. and NATO control.
Detention inside Kosovo by Yugoslav units
would be a major violation of the June peace
agreement that ended the 18-month Serb crack
down on ethnic Albanian separatists and the 78-
day NATO bombing campaign against Yugoslavia.
Under the agreement, all Yugoslav forces
were to leave Kosovo — a province of Serbia,
the dominant republic in the Yugoslav federa
tion — and turn the province over to the Unit
ed Nations and a NATO-led peacekeeping force
called KFOR.
Manuel said U.N. officials had not spoken
with the three employees since the Danes re
ported their presence and the mission has no
idea about the circumstances of their detention.
The latest incident occurred at a time of ris
ing tensions between Kosovo’s minority Serbs
and NATO-led peacekeepers. Serbs accuse
peacekeepers of failing to protect them against
attacks from the ethnic Albanian majority.
Thousands of ethnic Albanians were killed by
Serb forces during Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic’s 18-month crackdown. But after NATO
bombing forced the Serb troops to withdraw, eth
nic Albanians began attacking Serbs in revenge.
On Tuesday, unknown attackers fired two
rocket-propelled grenades into a crowded Serb
market in Kosovo Polje, killing three Serbs and
injuring dozens. In response, Serbs have barri
caded the main east-west highway across the
province for the past two days.
Heavily armed British troops swarmed
through Kosovo Polje yesterday in an effort to
reassure Serbs. Tfoops prevented ethnic Alba
nians from approaching the barricade.
Eager to prevent a dangerous escalation of
ethnic tension, chief U.N. administrator,
Bernard Kouchner visited victims of the attack
yesterday in a small clinic in Kosovo Polje.
Kouchner said the United Nations and NATO
must do more to curb ethnic violence.
“This outrageous act against innocent civil
ians puts in danger all efforts at democracy in
Kosovo,” Kouchner said.
