Many cruel crimes have been executed over the albanian civil population
by serbian terrorists during their latest offensive in Dukagjin. As

about his cattle in the field, has been killed, whereas on April 27,

this village, the 103 year old woman, Hanë Dervish Ymeraj, has been
massacred near her yard, where her hands and her head was cut off.

It is supposed that in Lubeniq of Peja, there other massacred and killed

limited possibilities caused by the presence of serbian forces there, it
is difficult to collect the evidences.

Two KLA soldiers have fallen in the mines placed by serbians

Kaçanik, May 3rd (Kosovapress)
In the border between Kosova and Macedonia, in Pustenik, the Commander
of Platoon of the I-st Battalion, Feriz Faik Guri (1970), from the
village Nikaj and Xhevdet Faik Guri (1969), also from the village Nikaj,

kidnapped.These are: Xhevdet Hamdi Guri (1975) and Idriz Nuhi Guri
(1960) both from the village Nikaj. There no informations about their
fate On April 28, two other persons have been taken by serbian forces in
Gerlicë, Ismet Hysen Gashi and Skënder Behxhet Gashi, from the village
Begracë. Ismet has been released on May 2nd after being badly beaten by
serbian police,whereas there no information about the Skender`s fate.

We should not leave our homeland in these difficult days

May 3rd (Kosovapress)
The civilian albanian population from the dwellings of Kosova is still
continuing to immigrate massively in Albania and Macedonia. Trends of
this immigration now are becoming really dramatic, without taking in
consideration the reasons that are pushing these people to leave their
homeland.
These deportations,expulsions,immigrations are organized by serbian
fascist forces by trains, cars,buses and other means of private
transportation by paying high sums of money for each person.
Emptying of the dwellings by albanian population, presents big problem
for our liberation war. This goes in direct service to serbian fascist
aspirations for Kosova`s ethic cleansing and it is also big loss for the
support of KLA soldiers. Thus, before deciding to leave homeland, lets
think just a little bit for the consequences of this emigration, even
more, those who are already outside Kosova should to think how to come
back soon as possible.
Our homeland is calling all of us, today or never anymore!

Conversation with mr. Izet Ibrahimin, Chief of Communal Directorate for
Public Affairs and Civil Administration inn Gllogoc

Gllogoc, May 3rd (Kosovapresss)
We had a conversation with mr. Izet Ibrahimin, Chief of CDPAA about the
alarming situation in this region:

Kosovapress: Z. Ibrahimi, where is concentrated the civil population of
your commune?
Z. Ibrahimi: Population is concentrated in Gllogoc, in Shtrubullov, and
Qikatov të Re, and there are people from our commune but also there
people who have came from the villages of the communes of Vushtri,
Skenderaj and Klinë. There over than 75000 displaced inhabitants and
they are isolated by serbian military-police enclosure for a month and
half. In a way I can say that it is a concentration camp here.people can
try to escape from this camp only during the night but the threat of
serbian terrorist forces is evident every moment There large numbers of
the displaced population in the mountains of Berisha,Tunnel of Açarevë
etc, including a number of some 100.000 displaced persons.

Kosovapress: What are the conditions of these population?

Z. Ibrahimi: The population is without food, clothes and medicines. The
conditions are very brave. There no even one canal of furnishing.The
food and the other things, have been looted by serbian terrorist forces
during the way. Serbian barbar have burnt all grains granary, sacks with
flour, means of transportation,ornaments and all their money.

Kosovapresss: But how the reach to stay alive in these conditions?

Z. Ibrahimi: Thanks to solidarity within the population, they are
reaching to survive. But there cases that serbian criminals are selling
the looted flour by themselves. as it happened in Zabel i Poshtem etc.
Somehow they are arranging to live but most of them are starving, they
eat just a little bit, once a day. Many of them are eating the boiled
corn grains.

Kosovapress: What`s the average of the damages caused by the latest
serbian criminal offensive in your commune?
Z. Ibrahimi: From the previous serbian offensives the average of the
destructions in our commune reached a percentage of 68%, but after the
latest offensive, this average goes further than 90 %. From 42
dwellings, only two of them are not burnt yet and these are: Qikatova e
re and Shtrubullova. I`ve to mention also that, there is no house left
in our commune that has not been stolen.

Kosovapress: Civil population in your commune is concentrated in some
places, mainly in open areas. Are there cases of the immigration outside
Kosova ?

Z. Ibrahimi: No, there have not been massive displacements of the
population from this regions outside Kosova. In spite the violence,
massacres, killings and kidnappings, there have not been such attempts.
There was an attempt before few days from some definite individuals, who
claimed that they will provide secure transfer of civilian population to
Macedonia, but the number of the interested people for taking such step,
was very small. Also the organizers of such deportations have been found
in Gllogoc and they were related with a serbian agency from Ferizaj, as
well as with serbian police.
